Gatekeeper platforms are digital platforms with a systemic role in the internal market that function as bottlenecks between businesses and consumers for important digital services. The Digital Markets Act includes rules that govern gatekeeper online platforms.
For example, online marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms. The rules specified in the DSA primarily concern online intermediaries and platforms.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Market Act (DMA) form a single set of rules that apply across the whole EU.
