Regulation of Big Tech in the EU: Edited version

The paper provides an overview and discusses the ongoing and upcoming trends in Big Tech regulation with a focus on the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). It is only during the past few years that more concerted regulatory initiatives have been taken regarding Big Tech and platform developments. However now, all around the world, various kinds of legislative initiatives are taken to secure fair competition conditions in platform markets and protection of end-users against misuse of data and dis- and misinformation. The paper analyses such regulatory initiatives in light of theory on regulation.
