EU Moves to Block Big Tech from Financial Data Access System with German Support
By

A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Germany is leading an EU initiative to block major US tech companies (Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon) from accessing the Financial Data Access (FiDA) framework, a new system designed to allow third parties to share bank and insurance data for consumer finance tools. This move represents a victory for European banks seeking to protect their market position against Big Tech competition, despite warnings from Donald Trump about potential tariff retaliation against countries that discriminate against US firms.
