| description | Abstract The Digital Age saw the rise of several rapidly growing digital platforms with substantial market shares, and this development is expected to continue.

This article reveals the reasons for the success of digital platforms and discusses the recent European Commission proposal for a Digital Markets Act based on the analysis of the status quo. |
