A year ago, Europe’s Digital Markets Act—the DMA—went into effect. The European Commission says the purpose of the regulation is to make “digital markets in the EU more contestable and fairer.” In particular, the DMA regulates gatekeepers, the large digital platforms whose position gives them greater leverage over the digital economy. One year in, how has the DMA performed? Do Europeans enjoy more choice and competition? And what are the new politics of the DMA as European regulations are contested by the Trump administration and its supporters in US industry? 

To answer these questions and more, Tech Policy Press contributing editor Dean Jackson spoke to a set of experts following a conference hosted by the Knight Georgetown Institute titled “DMA and Beyond.” His guests include:

• Alissa Cooper, Executive Director of the Knight-Georgetown Institute (KGI)
• Anu Bradford, Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization at Columbia Law School
• Haeyoon Kim, a Non-Resident Fellow at the Korea Economic Institute (KEI), and
• Gunn Jiravuttipong, a JSD Candidate and Miller Fellow at Berkeley Law School.
