TikTok, Facebook parent Meta appeal against EU ‘gatekeeper’ status

TikTok is appealing against its designation as a "gatekeeper" under the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to make it easier for users to switch between competing services. The company argues that it does not meet the revenue threshold required for the designation and believes it could be a strong competitor to established platforms. Meanwhile, Meta, Facebook's parent company, is challenging the "gatekeeper" status for its Messenger and Marketplace platforms but not for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Apple has yet to comment on its plan to appeal.
