3.2. Liability regime Under the scope of the Digital Markets Act, companies identified as gatekeepers will be subject to a number of dos and don'ts. Gatekeepers will carry an extra responsibility to conduct themselves in a way that ensures an open online environment that is fair for businesses and consumers. They will therefore have to proactively implement certain behaviours that make the markets more open and contestable and at the same time refrain from engaging in unfair behaviours.
