TechREG Chronicle^® – Digital Services Act

This edition of the Chronicle examines upcoming changes in EU platform regulation. Specifically, it focuses on the EU Digital Services Act (“DSA”) from a competition perspective. The DSA is perhaps little understood compared to its companion regulation: the Digital Markets Act (“DMA”), which explicitly aims to increase the contestability of digital markets. But the DSA, particularly via its modification of liability rules for platforms, will also have competitive effects on digital platforms.
