El objetivo principal del presente estudio de investigación consiste en ofrecer un análisis sistemático del régimen administrativo sancionador que recae sobre grandes plataformas digitales, en cuanto superintermediadores con poder de alterar los necesarios equilibrios, ad intra y ad extra, de mercados e, incluso, completos ecosistemas digitales surgidos al amparo de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación. Para ello, se ahondará en la transformación que imprime la sociedad de la información desde una perspectiva legal y cómo, para dar respuesta a los múltiples desafíos e interrogantes que propicia esta nueva realidad digital, nace una normativa que regula específicamente este tipo de plataformas: la Digital Services Act y, sobre todo, en lo que aquí interesa, la Digital Markets Act. Estas regulaciones son un instrumento para el fomento de mercados disputables y leales.
The main objective of this research study is to offer a systematic analysis of the administrative sanctioning regime that applies to large digital platforms. These platforms, often referred to as super intermediaries, possess the power to disrupt the delicate balances ad intra and ad extra of markets, even within entire digital ecosystems that have emerged due to advancements in New Information and Communication Technologies. To this end, this paper explores the transformation brought about by the information society from a legal perspective and how, in response to the numerous challenges and questions arising from this new digital reality, it has led to regulations specifically designed to govern such platforms. The two key regulations in this regard are the Digital Services Act and, particularly relevant for this article, the Digital Markets Act. These regulations are instrumental in fostering competitive and equitable markets
