The European Commission Executive President Genna Virkunen reported to the publication that on Tuesday, September 23, the block regulatory authorities will send official requests for the provision of Apple, Google and Microsoft, as well as Booking Holdings.
“We see that more and more criminal actions are happening on the Internet,” Virkcunen said. “We must make sure that online platforms are really making every effort to identify and prevent the spread of such illegal content.”
Verification from the EU can also lead to official investigations and even potential fines for companies. Virkununen also emphasizes that the commission considered the possibility of individual companies, not their location, since the US President had previously threatened to impose duties against countries that were fined by US companies.
The European Commission will conduct a thorough check that will study how Apple and Google are handling counterfeit applications in their stores, including banking ones. The controller will also consider fake results in Google and Bing search.
In addition, the EU wants to know more about how Booking Holdings fights fake housing ads. It is the only European company in the four to check, and its largest subsidiary Booking.com is located in Amsterdam.
Virkununo also said that annual damage from online fraud in the EU exceeds € 4 billion. At the same time, she noted that the development of artificial intelligence complicates the identification of such cases. In general, the fight against financial fraud will be a new priority within the limits of the Digital Services Act (DSA).
