Description: The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a European Commission Regulation aimed at ensuring fair and contestable markets in the digital sector. The Act targets large online platforms, often referred to as "gatekeepers", that have significant control over market access. These platforms, due to their size and influence, can lead to unfair practices and hinder competition. The DMA aims to address these issues by setting out obligations for these gatekeepers, ensuring they operate in a fair and transparent manner. The Act is particularly focused on core platform services, including online intermediation services, search engines, social networking, video sharing platforms, cloud services, and advertising services. The DMA is designed to complement existing EU competition rules and other regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and aims to prevent regulatory fragmentation across the EU.
