The challenges of digital regulation
The digital world and future technologies always pose new challenges to the law. Legislators in the EU and Germany have reacted accordingly: with comprehensive sets of regulations, in which they have created a legal framework for the digital economy and for providers of digital services such as, in particular, online platforms (media platforms, user interface providers, media intermediaries as marketplaces).
