Digital Markets Act (DMA)

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a European Union regulation designed to ensure fair competition in the digital marketplace. It targets major online platforms, known as "gatekeepers," that have significant market power. The DMA sets rules to prevent these platforms from abusing their dominance, like prioritizing their services over competitors or limiting consumer choices. By promoting fairness and transparency, the DMA aims to encourage competition, innovation, and better choices for users while supporting smaller companies and startups in the digital economy.
