News brief

EU reins in Google and Apple. Europe’s antitrust regulators continued a crackdown against Big Tech, hitting Google with two charges of breaching landmark EU rules on March 19. Apple was ordered to help rivals connect with its iPhones and iPads. The move by the European Commission came despite threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to levy tariffs against countries which impose fines on U.S. companies. Both Google and Apple have been in the European Commission’s crosshairs since March last year over concerns that they may not be complying with regulations aimed to rein in the power of Big Tech.
