Reacting to the European Commission’s much-awaited proposals on the Digital Services and Digital Markets Acts, MEP Agius Saliba said that both proposals have a major role to play in determining that ‘maximising’ huge profits of tech giants are not prioritised over safer digital space for all users, where fundamental rights and public interests, the users’ and consumers’ rights are protected online.
Alex Agius Saliba, S&D negotiator on the Digital Services Act initiative report in the European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection, welcomed the Commission proposals on both Acts. He said that this is a long-overdue reform of 20-year-old rules, which are no longer fit for purpose, adding that there is no doubt that both these proposals will be a game-changer for Europe and the world’s digital future.
