The Digital Services Act will introduce additional rules for online platforms with significant network effects. This new asymmetric regulation would be triggered depending on whether a platform has a gatekeeping role. This raises important questions about the design of new rules: what are the regulatory gaps that existing regimes like EU competition, data protection and consumer law do not yet address? Our panel will explore the key concerns raised by the gatekeeping role of online platforms and consider ways to address these concerns through new regulation.
