Summary/Abstract: Released at the end of 2020 the European Commission's Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Market Act (DMA) package captured the attention of experts in Europe and beyond with its comprehensive scope and ambitious goals. The two instruments are expected to radically change EU digital regulation and pave the way to policy solutions that will achieve greater consumer protection, guarantee fair competition in the online environment and structure an effective framework for the protection of human rights. The article presents the essence of the two legal instruments and discusses their pros and cons against the background of the fast-developing digital environment and interrelated problems.
