The Digital Markets Act` has been published by the European Commission, and the UK Government has announced its own `Plan for Digital Regulation`. These regulations aim to promote competition in the tech industry, with a focus on giving smaller companies more space to grow. The rules also address issues such as pre-loading apps and software onto products, preventing monopoly-by-the-back-door tactics. Additionally, there are guidelines around captioning regulation to ensure all content comes with closed captions, making it easier for viewers to access information. While some tech giants have expressed concerns that these regulations could reduce innovation, the author believes they will ultimately foster more competition and choice for European innovators and start-ups.
