| Abstract [eng] |
Digital platforms have achieved prominent positions in the economy and in daily life, becoming indispensable intermediaries for interactions and exchanges between individuals. In this capacity, they not only provide the infrastructure for interactions, but also act as regulators of that space, assuming the role of "gatekeeper." In this context, awareness of the need for innovative regulatory intervention in digital markets to regulate the figures of "gatekeepers" is widespread. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is the new European regulation on digital markets, gaining approval by the EU Parliament on 5 July 2022, in parallel with the Digital Services Act (DSA), a regulation dealing with digital services. Together, these two acts constitute the Digital Services Package. In light of what are the problems related to the gatekeeper role of some dominant digital platforms, this paper aims to identify the limitations and potential of the Digital Markets Act. |
