In its Communication on a Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe adopted on 6th May, the Commission committed to undertake a comprehensive assessment on the role of platforms, covering the social and economic role of online platforms, transparency (e.g. in search results), terms of use, ratings and reviews, the use of information by platforms, the relation between platforms and their suppliers, the conditions of switching between comparable services offered by platforms, and the role of online intermediaries, including ways to tackle illegal content on the internet. It includes also initiatives on data – a free flow of data initiative and a European Cloud initiative.
