About this ebook

As digital technologies and models propel data to the centre of economic and social experience, new EU directives, regulations, legislative proposals, and policy strategies attempt to deal with the unprecedented challenges that come in the wake of digital expansion. Yet it remains to be seen whether such initiatives will prove adequate. This important and much-needed book looks at the main regulatory initiatives taken by the EU legislature on digital markets, with a particular focus on features affecting the individual users, mostly consumers.

With detailed attention to all relevant EU legal instruments, the authors – three well-known authorities on the intersection of technology and law – offer in-depth analyses of such legal aspects of digitisation as the following:

  • content moderation and transparency;

  • maintaining democratic control of societies vis-à-vis dominant large digital platforms;

  • conditions under which public sector bodies may access private sector data;

  • digital identities and their protection, including the so-called digital wallet;

  • risk-based classification of artificial intelligence systems; and

  • rethinking the consumer protection regime to reconcile the needs of new markets and the protection of its consumer users.

Because the digital revolution has blurred many existing legal frameworks and principles, regulation plays a pivotal role in shaping an EU Single Market fit for a sustainable digital regime, ensuring an optimal economic and social balance. For practitioners, policymakers, and academics concerned with the legal impact of technology, this comprehensive description of the policies, regulatory techniques, and key features of EU digital markets law will greatly facilitate their approach to the emergence of digital markets with awareness of applicable rules and procedures.
