What they argued
Wikimedia Europe represents Wikimedia movement affiliates across Europe. The Wikimedia movement is made up of a network of organisations and volunteer communities that write, curate and maintain free and open knowledge projects like Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons.
Free Knowledge Advocacy Group welcomes the initiative to supplement the Digital Services Act with the proposal for a Regulation on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector (Digital Markets Act). The online ecosystem has been lacking an adequate framework, in which there is a differentiation between platforms considered to be the gatekeepers and other models of online intermediation.
Free Knowledge Advocacy Group, welcomes the initiative of devising ex ante rules to ensure that markets characterised by large online platforms remain fair and contestable for innovators, businesses, and new market entrants.
