Digital Markets Act Dispute Over Facebook Services
Messenger was retained as a core platform service.
Meta challenged the designations in 2023, arguing Marketplace and Messenger are Facebook extensions.
Court found reasoning for Marketplace's annulment lacking, not accounting for 2023 changes.
Messenger was considered standalone, distinguishing it from Facebook.
Meta's victory is procedural, but Marketplace remains under the Act.
Commission retains enforcement powers but must improve documentation.
Dispute is part of conflict between EU and American platforms, facing criticism from Trump's administration.
