The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that U.S. House judiciary chair Jim Jordan on Sunday demanded EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera clarify how she enforces the European Union's rules reining in Big Tech, saying they appear to target U.S. companies. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says the request came two days after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum warning that his administration would scrutinize the EU's Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act "that dictate how American companies interact with consumers in the European Union."
The Digital Markets Act sets out a list of dos and don'ts for Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Booking.com, ByteDance, Meta Platforms and Microsoft, aimed at securing a level playing field and giving consumers more choices.
"We write to express our concerns that the DMA may target American companies," Mr. Jordan wrote in a letter sent to Ms. Ribera on Sunday, saying that the rules subject companies to burdensome regulations and give European companies an advantage.
