The European Commission is a group of people who make rules to protect businesses and customers. They recently said that Apple's iPad operating system (iPadOS) should also be considered as something that controls access to its platform, like the App Store.

- The headline is misleading and sensationalized, as it implies that Apple's iPad OS is being unfairly targeted by the European Commission, when in fact, it is one of many services labeled as "gatekeepers" under the DMA. A more accurate headline would be: "European Commission Labels 22 Services, Including Apple's iPadOS, As Gatekeepers Under New Digital Markets Act".

A brief explanation of the DMA would help readers understand the significance and implications of this decision.
