Commission presents declaration on digital rights and principles

„What is illegal offline should also be illegal online“ – that’s the European Commission’s credo for the two key platform laws Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. It also forms the basis for the declaration on digital rights and principles that the authority presented on Wednesday: „The declaration makes it clear: The rights we have offline, we also have online,“ said Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager. The project is part of the Communication on the „Digital Decade“ presented by the Commission in March 2021 to shape the digital transformation in the EU by 2030.
