Policy Briefing — European Commission opens consultation on Digital Services and Markets Acts
The European Commission launched public consultations on the forthcoming Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act on 2 June 2020, seeking input on platform accountability, competition rules, and enforcement options.
On 2 June 2020 the Commission opened public consultations for the Digital Services Act package, inviting feedback on illegal content moderation, platform liability, recommender transparency, and ex-ante competition rules for large gatekeepers ahead of formal legislative drafts.
Platform policy and compliance teams should review the questionnaires, align positions with industry coalitions, and anticipate obligations around notice-and-action workflows, data access for regulators, and interoperability mandates that later appeared in the DSA and DMA proposals.
