Echo Evidence Brief

Plain-language explanation for first-time readers — side-by-side echo comparison, verbatim primary-source excerpts, and X-discourse discovery context (not tier evidence).

EU published the global instrument first (Global precedent precedes Korea; 2023–2025). 공정거래위원회(KFTC) then adopted Korean text using the same policy vocabulary. Matched terms: "ex ante gatekeeper designation" ↔ "사전 게이트키퍼 지정"; "ex post enforcement" ↔ "사후 집행". Read the side-by-side comparison and verbatim primary-source excerpts below.

EU Digital Markets Act (Regulation 2022/1925)

EU Digital Markets Act (DMA) establishes ex ante gatekeeper regulation for large platforms; jurisdictions worldwide draft parallel platform monopoly rules, oscillating between ex ante designation and ex post enforcement models under domestic political and trade pressure. Gatekeepers shall not treat their own services more favourably in ranking, shall not combine personal data across core platform services without consent, and shall ensure interoperability and data portability.

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Impose ex-ante platform competition rules inspired by the EU DMA, with domestic oscillation between ex-post and ex-ante approaches.

Korean purpose
