"The letter argues that big tech companies have growing control over the operating systems of smart TVs and voice assistants, allowing them to act as gatekeepers funnelling users towards some content and away from others."
"A limited number of operators are therefore gaining growing ability to shape outcomes for millions of users and businesses by controlling access to audiences and content distribution."
"It is crucial that the commission designate major TV operating systems as gatekeepers and ensure adequate oversight to guarantee fairness and contestability."
The Association of Commercial Television and Video on Demand Services in Europe has called for the EU to enforce strict regulations on major tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, and Samsung.

The EU is reportedly preparing to strengthen its anti-competition rules amid tensions with the US over tech regulations.
