London, Nov 27 (UNI) The United Kingdom government said on Friday that the country would create a digital market unit, which would implement a new code for tech giants such as Google and Facebook to provide a level of play in the market and greater protection to consumers.
"A dedicated Digital Markets Unit will be set up to introduce and enforce a new code to govern the behaviour of platforms that currently dominate the market, such as Google and Facebook," the press release said.
