European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager on Thursday called for a global approach toward Big Tech companies to prevent them from taking advantage of enforcement gaps.

Calling for the antitrust watchdogs around the globe to work together to tackle the issue, she added that "this debate is no longer a hot topic amongst competition practitioners, but it has strong political attention."

Big Tech companies are under the regulatory scanner in different parts of the world, including the U.S., South Korea, India, and Australia.
