A chapter in The Platform Economy, 2022, pp 331-345 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Access and use of the digital space have led to far-reaching observations on further developments of online interactions. In most countries, people are fully involved in online transactions dealing with business operations, communication, purchase of goods and services, exchange of data, and any kind of choice through digital platforms. Within states, digital platforms question the structure of the market. In the European Union, institutions react to these sides of innovation and competitiveness, to redress possible abuses carried out online by very large companies in the capacity to get a monopolistic position, having an impact on the inputs and outputs of digital networks. The Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act, proposed by the European Commission in December 2020, suitably pave the way to further rules on these issues.
