Investing.com -- The European Union (EU) has expressed its determination to apply its comprehensive digital regulations to tech companies, irrespective of their leadership or location. This was revealed by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a statement to Politico.

The EU’s stance is clear, with cases already opened against several tech giants including TikTok, X, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Meta (NASDAQ:META). Von der Leyen emphasized that the rules are implemented without bias, ensuring fair and proportional application. The EU’s primary concern, according to von der Leyen, is the protection of people, rather than the origin or leadership of a company.

This statement, made on Sunday, underscores the EU’s commitment to its digital rule book and its intention to hold tech companies accountable, regardless of their leadership or where they are based.
