NME: DSA And DMA Are Missed Opportunity To Rebalance Online Ecosystem News Media Europe has spoken of a missed opportunity to rebalance the online ecosystem following the announcement of the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act by the European Commission. The DSA aims to clarify the responsibilities of digital services while the DMA proposes new market conduct rules for larger online players. Wout van Wijk, executive director of News Media Europe, commented: “The Commission’s proposals lack teeth and are nowhere far reaching enough to address basic behavioural incentives. “We need clear-cut prohibitions on the conduct of gatekeepers and a crystal-clear, reinforced liability regime to rein in tech giants. Instead, platforms are now offered carte blanche on liability with a good Samaritan clause and the market investigation tool has disappeared altogether”.
