The Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union, which Microsoft is proposing, is about to go into action. Major platforms designated as “gatekeepers” will have to make their devices accessible to rival app shops in order to comply with the law. According to reports, Apple is already preparing iOS to be in compliance with the law before its March 2024 deadline. Companies designated as gatekeepers will be able to contest the classification, however, doing so may cause a delay in the law’s implementation.
