This new Regulation, which applies in the UK despite Brexit, requires online marketplaces and many other platforms to update their terms of service for business users as well as change their operational practices, providing more transparency and rights for business users. The panel will discuss what the Regulation’s about, what needs to be done to comply, and current uncertainties.
