Online advertising services X Ads and TikTok Ads as such did not qualify as gatekeepers, the EU added.The Commission said in March that Elon Musk's X, TikTok owner ByteDance and Booking.com may meet EU criteria subjecting them to tough tech rules as so-called gatekeepers. While the EU on Monday said Booking qualified as a gatekeeper, it had opened a market investigation to further assess the rebuttal lodged by X, opposing to such a status.
ByteDance was labelled a gatekeeper in July last year but TikTok has challenged that at Europe's second-highest court.
