New Digital Services Act (DSA) comes into force in Europe
29-08-23
As of today, 25 August, the Digital Services Act (DSA) comes into force. The major European regulation that implements a whole series of new obligations for large technology companies. These changes affect companies such as Google, Meta and TikTok, but also have a direct impact on users.
It is time to comply with the new rules. Thierry Breton, European Union Commissioner, recalled that this new law comes into force today. The aim is to get these "big companies that impact our daily lives" to comply with the rules imposed by the EU.
There is a whole series of measures, some of them only for the big platforms. Fighting disinformation, limitations on advertising, moderation of illegal content and transparency in algorithms. If they do not comply, these large companies can be fined up to 6% of their global annual revenue.
The great European regulation of the digital world (DSA and DMA) is here: what it implies and how it will affect Internet users.
