While the Covid-19 crisis has shed light on the major role played by the leading online platforms in many aspects of the lives of consumers and citizens (work and education, news, entertainment, culture, shopping), Europe is taking new steps to complete the digital transformation of the economy and society, strengthen the single market and ultimately regulate the Internet giants to regain its digital sovereignty.

- It also highlights the unique characteristics of national regulation in certain European countries and sanctions that have been implemented at the local level against GAFA
- It compares the European approach to that adopted in North America by the United States and Canada
