The European Commission announced on Friday it will treat the cloud divisions of Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers under the Digital Markets Act. The move follows a proposal to curb any dominance in cloud services. The Commission argues that Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure have enough market power to harm competition. If the gatekeeper status is confirmed, the two firms will have to follow new transparency and fairness rules. The proposal is part of the EU's broader effort to regulate large digital platforms.
