What does the DMA mean for each tech giant?

Anyone who is even a little bit familiar with the world of search behavior knows that Google has a big finger in the pie. You search for directions to your Airbnb, want to rank your business higher in the SERPs, connect all your smart devices to Nest and watch endless tutorials on YouTube. You may use one, two or more of these services independently.
But Google wins the jackpot, because they store all your data under one fan . They have so much information about you, that if you were to list it all, you would probably get weak at the knees. This piling up of data is no longer allowed, thanks to the Digital Markets Act.

Amazon
Amazon is not nearly as big here in the Netherlands as it is in America, but we also keep buying on the platform. We also watch Amazon Prime en masse and more and more people have a speaker in the center of their living room. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In any case, you can now decide for yourself whether you want to use the data between services and switch it on and off as needed.
Meta
Meta, or in popular parlance here still Facebook, takes the crown in terms of social platforms. Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp; they are all managed by mister Zuckerberg. We know all too well that the companies make connections with each other. It is not for nothing that you can also directly post your Reel on Instagram to Facebook, to name but one.
Don't want it to be lower? Or do you want your VR headset to not be connected to your other Meta services at all ? Go to the Account Center and search for 'connected experiences'. Submit a removal request and Meta will have to disconnect it within 15 days.
