- The EU is working on a bill that would target “gatekeeper” companies.
- The bill could force Apple to open up its services and work with competitors.
- This could have dramatic changes for Apple products such as iMessage, FaceTime, and more.

The EU has a well-established reputation for tackling Big Tech, often taking measures the US refuses to take in the interest of protecting consumers. The EU is now pursuing legislation — the Digital Markets Act (DMA) — that would force Apple to open up most of its services and start playing nice with others.
