The talk will present the two draft regulations (DGA and DSA) put on the table by the European Commission at the end of 2020. The first one deals with the framework for data sharing. It aims at facilitating the access to data, for example from government to businesses or through data altruim. The second one updates the EU legal backbone for the Internet, the 2000 e-Commerce directive, and creates new obligations, including of transparency, and an accountability system for online platforms.
Together with the Digital Markets Act focusing on unfair practices of online gatekeepers, the DGA and DSA have implications for the governance framework of the digital world. Whether those acts can serve as a welcome ‘digital constitution’ or will just add rules that risk to unnecessarily burden the online interactions will be discussed.
