New EU rules impacting big tech giants are coming into force on Thursday, and consumers in the bloc are set to benefit: WhatsApp will allow messaging with other chat apps, and Apple will let iPhone owners download apps from rival app stores.
This week on dpa trends we've looked at what's set to change under a major new EU law forcing big tech to play fair.
Ahead of upcoming album releases, we've also interviewed Judas Priest's lead singer as well as the songmaker behind Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray hits.
