You say the summary is in the link, but the first few things you mention are not in the summary, or called out at all in the article. I don’t think this is the “open up your App Store mechanism” regulation, as I believe there are two in flight right now
>The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of
third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating
with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application
stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that
gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shall, where applicable, not prevent the downloaded third-party
software applications or software application stores from prompting end users to decide
whether they want to set that downloaded software application or software application
store as their default. The gatekeeper shall technically enable end users who decide to set
that downloaded software application or software application store as their default to carry
out that change easily.
Gatekeepers will not be able to:
rank their own products or services higher than those of others
prevent developers from using third-party payment platforms for app sales
process users’ personal data for targeted advertising, unless consent is granted
establish unfair conditions for business users
pre-install certain software applications or prevent users from easily un-installing them
restrict business users of platforms
Gatekeepers will have to:
offer more choices, such as the choice of certain software on a user’s operating system
ensure that unsubscribing from core platform services is as easy as subscribing
provide information on the number of users that visit their platforms to determine whether the platform can be identified as a gatekeeper
give business users access to their marketing or advertising performance data on the platform
inform the European Commission of their acquisitions and mergers
ensure that the basic functionalities of instant messaging services are interoperable, i.e. enable users to exchange messages, send voice messages or files
Fair competition of digital services is key to ensure that companies and consumers can all benefit in the same way from digital opportunities. This will also generate more innovation and boost consumer protection.
