Digital Policies – an East-West Perspective

This webinar takes stock of the different developments and approaches to regulate digital markets in the US, Canada, Europe, South Korea, and Japan.

At the end of 2020, the European Commission once again made itself a global regulatory frontrunner, presenting no fewer than three new legal acts to regulate digital markets. With a stated objective to create a safer digital space where fundamental rights of all users of digital services are sufficiently protected, the Single Market changes its mode of market governance from addressing market failures ex-post (as they happen) that are tailored to create the same outcome.

However, the European Commission’s proposals are not only being discussed intensively in Europe but also raise questions of a global dimension in relation to Asia and North America because of the extraterritorial effects of these acts. These include the tension between competition, choice, and consumer protection on the one hand, and innovation, investment incentives, and entrepreneurial freedom on the other. This webinar will highlight the most important aspects of this topic.

The three European acts – Digital Governance Act, Digital Services Act, and Digital Markets Act – build on the political successes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the political capital it has unleashed to act against digital-native players. But they depart from the philosophy of GDPR, a horizontal regulation that applies to all societal processes involving personal information, whether they occur online or offline – or by the public, private or commercial actors. Instead, the three digital acts are detailed product or activity-specific regulations that only apply to some digital market actors.
