     Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft

     These are the first 6 companies designated as ‘gatekeepers' under the Digital Markets Act.

     They have 6 months to ensure their core platform services comply with our rules, including:

     ✔ Allowing users to unsubscribe and remove pre-installed services
     ✔ Allowing the download of alternative app stores

     ❌ Banning tracking outside of their services without consent
     ❌ Stopping ranking their products more favourably
