The likes of Apple, Google and Facebook could soon find themselves on a new EU “hit list” that’s designed to curb their market power and increase competition.
Regulators in the European Union are drawing up a list of around 20 large internet companies they want to comply with tougher rules than smaller firms, according to a report published in the Financial Times on Monday.
Companies on the list will reportedly have to share data with rivals and be more transparent on how they gather information.
Lawmakers in Brussels want to force big tech companies to change their business practices without a lengthy investigation or the need to provide proof that they have broken laws already in place.

The European Commission was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
