Proposals for Digital Regulation in the UK: Some Trade-offs and Challenges

In this paper we consider the proposals in the UK for regulation of the most powerful digital firms. We examine some key areas of debate and possible trade-offs that must be considered in setting up and implementing such a regime. This includes: the test for deciding which firms are within scope of the regime; whether the rules imposed by the regulator should be common across all regulated firms or bespoke; and whether and how efficiencies should be considered.
