On Monday 9 October, MEPs on the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) discussed the 118 or so amendments tabled by the European Parliament’s political groups concerning the addictive nature of online platforms and consumer protection. Compromises will have to be found on a number of points - starting with the issue of reversing the burden of proof in the event of a dispute - if the groups want to achieve the objective of a committee vote on 25 or 26 October.
