Article summary

TMT analysis: On 15 December 2020, the Digital Services Act package was published by the European Commission. The package included two new proposed regulations: the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The objective of the package is to ensure that digital platforms are more accountable for the content that they host and address the market dominance of large technology companies. Alan Meneghetti, partner, and Charles Anderson, solicitor, at RadcliffesLeBrasseur LLP discuss the proposals in the DMA and the impact it will have not only on the online platforms it targets but the rights and freedoms of businesses that use these platforms.
