The Digital Services Act – What is it and what impact will it have?
22 June 2022
The Digital Services Act (DSA) will create new standards for digital services in the EU, regulating illegal content online, the protection of users’ rights, and the liability of a wide variety of online intermediaries, including cloud providers, online marketplaces and app stores.
The DSA, together with its sister regulation, the Digital Markets Act (DMA), will form a set of new rules intended to create a safer and more open digital space and to foster innovation and competitiveness.
