The EU’s list of gatekeeper services hits 24.

After placing iPadOS under its Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules last month, the European Commission has now designated Booking as a Gatekeeper, finding its online intermediation service Booking.com “meets the relevant thresholds” to be a core platform service.

That’s two additional services (and one new Gatekeeper) now on the list since the first 22 were named in September.
