Happy Sunday. It’s a busy week ahead for tech, with lots of companies reporting Q4 earnings, a big tech CEO hearing in DC, the Vision Pro going on sale, and more.
In this issue: The intent of the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which goes into effect on March 7th, is to loosen the control of tech’s gatekeepers.

First, a programming note: I’ll be interviewing Pinterest CEO Bill Ready on Monday morning at the first-ever Common Sense Summit in San Francisco. Other speakers include Sam Altman, Hillary Clinton, and United States Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. If you’re reading this and will be there, please say hi.
