Meta Platforms, the parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger, will allow users in Europe to unlink their accounts ahead of the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) taking effect in March 2024. This move is aimed at providing more choices to comply with the DMA regulations. The decision is seen as a significant step towards data privacy and user control in the region. Additionally, Microsoft's Bing and Edge, along with their advertising services, have been found not to have enough users to qualify as 'gatekeepers' subject to the EU's DMA, leading to their exemption from the strict DMA rules. Spotify also plans to launch in-app purchases for iOS users in the EU, in compliance with the DMA, enabling users to buy audiobooks and subscription plans within the music-streaming app without having to go through Apple's App Store.
