This book provides an exhaustive and comprehensive legal analysis of the EU framework governing activities in digital environments. It clearly and meticulously sets out the law as it applies to the full range of digital technologies, including AI, cybersecurity, online platforms, data processing, electronic signatures, contracts and payment services. Crucially, it also assesses how these laws interact in practice, including the neighbouring regimes of competition law and intellectual property law, facilitating navigation of this increasingly complex field.
