It is the most extensive publication the HBI has ever produced: the 1600-page commentary on the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), edited by Dr. Tobias Mast, Prof. Dr. Matthias Kettemann, Dr. Stephan Dreyer and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) together represent the central European legal acts for platform regulation. Not only were both EU regulations drafted, debated and adopted at the same time, they were also originally conceived as a single legal act. In their current form, they show many parallels, but also significant conceptual differences. In both cases, a comparative look at both promises to provide insights.
The four leading legal scholars at the HBI, Dr. Tobias Mast, Prof. Dr. Matthias Kettemann, Dr. Stephan Dreyer and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz, are therefore publishing a major commentary in the C.H.Beck-Verlag, which is the first to devote over 1600 pages to the two EU regulations in equal depth and taking into account the similarities and differences.
In addition to several current and former researchers at the Institute, almost 30 other experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have been recruited for the commentary project. In line with the HBI’s interdisciplinary research approach, the work draws on research in communication science, economics and sociology where this appears to be conducive to an understanding of the regulations.
