EU: Microsoft, Amazon cloud services could be classified as gatekeepers
Summary
The European Commission has preliminarily decided that AWS and Azure could be designated gatekeepers under the EU Digital Markets Act. The proposal would impose stronger interoperability and data portability requirements and limit self-preferencing in cloud services. Amazon and Microsoft both pushed back, arguing that the assessment misunderstands competition and the current regulatory landscape. A final decision is expected later this year after the companies respond to the Commission's findings.
