Abstract

The paper analyzes the current state of Russian and foreign legislation regarding the regulation of digital platforms. The study is based on the differentiation of platforms according to the area of their activities and the main functional tasks. But at the same time, the authors insist on common reference points in the legal regulation of different platforms. Their analysis allows not only to assess the quality and completeness of legal regulation, but also to formulate a number of proposals for improving the current legislation. To the reference points of the rights of digital platforms the authors refer the following ones: the legal status of the platforms, the contractual basis of their activities, the responsibility of the parties for inappropriate goods (services), labor relations with employees of digital platforms, etc. These issues are considered in the article with reference to current legislation and modern judicial practice.
