With the adoption of the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in 2022, the European Commission embarked on a paradigm shift. It created a comprehensive framework that establishes rights for users of digital intermediary services—such as social media platforms or marketplaces for private listings—vis-à-vis the providers of these services.
