True or False: The Digital Markets Act prohibits gatekeeper platforms from favoring their own services over competitors and requires interoperability.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. The Digital Markets Act prohibits "gatekeeper" platforms like Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft from favoring their own services over competitors. The DMA also requires gatekeepers to allow users to uninstall pre-installed apps, change default settings, install third-party apps or app stores (sideloading), and enable interoperability with other services. Gatekeepers must provide FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) access to their platforms and allow users to move data between services. These requirements are designed to promote competition and prevent large platforms from using their market power to exclude rivals.
