EU Regulation of Big (and Not-So-Big) Tech: The Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act
The EU’s Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act are flagship projects within the EU’s digital strategy. They aim to provide a safe digital environment for users free from illegal content, enhance transparency and accountability of service providers, strengthen the protection of fundamental European and consumer rights, and establish a level playing field to foster innovation, growth and competitiveness in the EU and elsewhere. In doing so, they impose significant compliance requirements and have wide-ranging impacts on digital businesses providing services to users in the EU. Both regulations are backed by substantial enforcement powers and sanctions—violations could result in considerable fines—and enforcement has already begun. Join the Technology Law Section to discuss (i) the services and undertakings in-scope of both of these regulations, (ii) the obligations they impose on in-scope services and undertakings, and (iii) their knock-on effects on other players within the digital services ecosystem.
