EU-Court rules on new regulations for Tiktok operator Bytedance

For these large so-called Gatekeepers of the Internet, i.e. gatekeepers, the new rules of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) apply. Among them, besides ByteDance, are Google's parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, the booking platform Booking.com, Meta, and Microsoft.

This was rejected in February, now the actual decision is pending in Luxembourg.
