Abstract:
Digital technology has constantly evolved into an indispensable part of our lives. In recent years in particular, online platforms have gained ground, being increasingly present in our life and business and representing a true economy, distinct from off-line markets. When referring to the activity of online platforms, we consider that they have both benefits and risks for users. The acceleration of digitalisation, against the background of the global pandemic, has led to a significant increase in the number of users, who have become more comfortable accessing various services online platforms. The study aims to analyse the legislative approach at EU level so that the benefits of using these platforms for the economy and society as a whole outweigh the risks they could have for users and ensure a level playing field for all providers of such services.
