DMA (Digital Markets Act)

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is a European regulation designed to ensure fair competition among big technology companies, often called “gatekeepers.” It sets rules to prevent these dominant firms from unfair practices like favoring their own services or blocking competitors. The goal is to promote innovation, give consumers more choice, and create a level playing field in digital markets. Essentially, the DMA aims to curb abuses of power by large digital platforms, ensuring smaller companies can compete fairly and consumers benefit from better services and options.
