"EU Launches Probes into Google and Apple Breakups Under New Digital Law"

TL;DR Summary
Antitrust regulators in the EU and the US are targeting Big Tech companies like Apple and Google with potential break-up orders, alleging anti-competitive practices and monopolistic behavior. This crackdown could inspire similar actions globally, with mounting threats across Europe. The US Department of Justice has warned Apple of a possible break-up order, while the EU is considering drastic measures against Google for alleged anti-competitive practices. However, it remains uncertain whether regulators will issue break-up orders, as legal experts suggest the cases may be challenging and any action may result in fines instead.
