The European Commission has concluded that Twitter’s impact on the EU market is not significant enough to warrant its inclusion under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). As a result, the social media platform will be exempt from the strict regulations imposed by the DMA.
The DMA is a landmark EU law designed to curb the power of tech giants and prevent them from violating competition laws. However, Twitter’s service is not yet considered strong enough for commercial users and does not meet certain revenue thresholds, allowing it to avoid many of the DMA’s rules.
The European Commission is expected to announce its findings in October, officially confirming Twitter’s exemption from the DMA. This decision highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the regulation of tech giants and the challenges of balancing innovation with competition.
