The result research work of the Jean Monnet Chair dig_INFlow is our latest publication – a bilingual handbook. Its main purpose is to explain and critically analyse the position of users and rights of users in the digital single market. In the recent four years the body of regulations and directives addressing the digital single market has grown substantially.

Users’ rights are for example specifically addressed in the Data Act, and the logic of identifying and sustaining users’ rights is already present in the GDPR. Out of this complex body of the regulatory instruments we chose to focus on the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA). Users, understood as service recipients, consumers, business and end-users, are thus in focus of the regulatory framework for Digital Single Market.

In our handbook we firstly discuss the concept and evolution of the regulatory framework for the Digital Single Market (chapter I) and then move on to separately analyse three key problems: (chapter II) enhancing the protection of fundamental rights of users in the area of content moderation under the DSA; (chapter III) mapping consumer benefits under the DSA; and (chapter IV) the scope of rights granted upon digital markets participants by the DMA. The last chapter (chapter V) is dedicated to the issue of public and private enforcement of the DSA and the DMA.

The handbook has been published as an open access publication by the AMU Press and is available in various formats at the AMU Repository.
