EU Platform Law - A Handbook

The European regulatory package on online platforms fundamentally changes the digital framework. The interlocking of the new regulations such as the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act is highly complicated, especially since the requirements of the P2B-Regulation and, in the future, other EU secondary legislation such as the Data Governance Act, Data Act or Artificial Intelligence Act also deserve the attention of platform providers.

The guidebook explains the interaction of the EU legal acts in a comprehensible way as well as the practical effects for providers of digital services, the companies concerned, commercial and private users.

Advantages:
- comprehensible even for non-legal professionals
- puts forward recommendations for action in practice
