The new Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act: four perspectives (part II)
As members of the focus area Governing the Digital Society at Utrecht University, we are proud to present a new GDS-blog-series. Each month we will feature a new post on topics relevant to our theme.
This is part two of a themed collection of blog posts pertaining to the DSA/DMA, launched in December 2020. The long-awaited European Commission’s legislative initiatives for the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) are expected to reshape the European approach to the governing of digital services. In these blog post series, we will explore various interdisciplinary perspectives on the proposed reforms and their role in furthering the quest for open, safe and fair digital societies.
