Those decisions designate as “gatekeepers” certain tech companies which offer core platform services that meet specific quantitative criteria (e.g., they reach 45 million end users). The tech companies that have been designated as gatekeepers are Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and ByteDance.
Which services have been designated?
