The newspaper refers to internal documents of the authorities in Brussels. In addition to Facebook and Microsoft stricter rules logically apply to competitors such as Google and other, mostly American companies.

The stricter supervision of US tech companies would lobby success of the European telecoms sector. Companies such as Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica and Vodafone have been complaining for years that they as network providers are subject to stricter rules than Internet service providers. The telecom companies are therefore calling for equal lines and preferably for a relaxation of the rules.
