The government's Digital Markets Bill aims to help consumers and increase competition.
Buying, selling or hosting fake reviews will become illegal as part of changes planned in new laws.
The bill is being introduced on Tuesday and bans people receiving money or free goods for writing glowing reviews.And the bill also seeks to end the tech giants' current market dominance.Its creators have said they want to manage the way in which a handful of huge tech companies dominate the market - although none is specifically named yet, and will be selected after a period of investigation of up to nine months.
The newly formed Digital Markets Unit, which will be part of the Competition and Markets Authority , will then be given certain powers to open up a specific market depending on the situation. Lawyer Nick Breen, from Reed Smith, said the additional powers given to the CMA under the new bill mean that "no-one has the luxury of taking this lightly".
