Truth on the Market

What is the UK doing in the field of digital-market regulation, and what do you think it is achieving?
There are probably four areas to consider.
The first is that the UK’s jurisdiction on mergers increased with Brexit. The UK is not subject to the same turnover threshold as under European law, and this enables it to call in a wider range of deals. It has also been able to look at different theories of harm in digital markets. It has done that in probably more than 10 cases where it examined issues like potential competition, vertical exclusion, etc.
