Who’s on each side of the gate?

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

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.

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

You need at least 7.5B euro turnover and 45M MAU in the EU to have a chance to qualify. It's not going to be everyone.

Why shouldn't our sovereign government control things as they please? That's the whole point of sovereignty - people elect government, government makes rules.
