London and Brussels advanced new rules on April 25th to curb the power of digital companies. The 19 biggest online platforms and search engines, including Facebook, Google, TikTok, Twitter and Amazon, are facing rising pressure from European authorities.
 　Starting August 25th, the 19 biggest online platforms and search engines must meet extra obligations for cleaning up illegal content and disinformation and keeping users safe under the EU’s new Digital Services Act.
 　At the same time, the UK government unveiled draft legislation that would give regulators more power to protect consumers from online scams and fake reviews and boost digital competition. The EU’s list is limited to those platforms with at least 45 million users in Europe. Violations could result in fines worth up to 6% of a company’s annual global revenue or even a ban on operating in the EU.
