EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager on Thursday voiced doubts as to whether Big Tech will fully comply with landmark EU rules aimed at reining in their power and ensure a level playing field for smaller rivals.
"I have reservations as to whether or not we will have full compliance," Vestager told a news conference, a sign that she may open investigations into some of the companies in the coming months.
Alphabet's Google, Apple, Amazon , Meta Platforms, Microsoft and ByteDance will have to adapt their core platform services to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) on March 7.

The six companies have been designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. Vestager said she hoped the companies will listen to feedback from third parties on their proposals on how to comply with the DMA and assess changes.

Technology is key to educating the next gener

Key points: After Covid-era shutdowns and rocky transitions to virtual education, we’re facing a crisis in education. The past three years erased decades of improvements in math and reading literacy across K-12 students. It also widened existing achievement gaps, leaving millions of children behind their American peers, and even further behind students in other countries. Increasing students’ access to technology tools in the classroom is key to reversing these trends. For teachers, closing the achievement gap will mean embracing emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. Generative AI can be a low-cost tutoring tool t...

(WGXA) — Residents in the area of Moncrief Road and Highway 128 have been without water since the weekend due to what Crawford County Water Superintendent Bill Patton calls an "ongoing issue" that they have been fighting. "20 years ago, they put the water line in at the base of the creek. With erosion, the pipe's not three, four feet above the bottom of the creek, so we get five inches of rain, it just washes away, we put it back," said Patton. "We've got a plan in place, now, to just completely replace it with newer technology." He explained that the new pipe will be five or six feet below the creek bed permanently. In the meantime, mobile water tanks, also known as water buffalos, are available for residents to have access to non-potable water to use for cleaning, ...
