    10% of Microsoft's turnover is $28b, 10% of amazon is $71b

    The goal here is to make sure these companies obey the law though, which big tech companies seem to think is optional.

      On one side, consumers. On the other, vendors.

        that before long, everyone will be declared a gatekeeper, just so EU can control everything as they please.

          Why shouldn't our sovereign government control things as they please? That's the whole point of sovereignty.
