The UK’s Digital Markets Unit, announced in 2020 and formed in 2021, was intended to be a regulator for Big Tech. While legislation to grant it powers in 2022 was delayed, the unit may finally get them in the coming months.
A draft bill will be published in the week beginning April 24, two officials told the Financial Times. While the government didn’t disclose when it would take place, the bill will be introduced to parliament „soon.
