Dear Rocio, How can ministers ensure disputes over tech giants' powers don't drag through the courts?
The Digital Markets Unit might just be the most important regulator you’ve not heard of. It’ll work out of the Competition and Markets Authority , the country’s competition regulator, and its chief mission is to promote greater competition and innovation in digital markets dominated by a small group of big tech with substantial power.
Tech giants would prefer a different approach, where they can challenge the decisions in a ‘merits appeal’, where they reopen the whole decision. This would not only undermine the authority of the DMU, an independent regulator with strong expertise in these complex digital markets, whose decisions could then be rejected by a higher power, but any appeal could take years to complete.
