Recent news has highlighted the European Commission's investigations into tech giants like TikTok, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter) for potential breaches of the Digital Services Act (DSA). These probes focus on issues such as child protection, illegal content, disinformation, and deceptive design practices. The DSA aims to update the EU's legal framework, particularly modernizing the e-Commerce Directive from 2000, to address challenges posed by online platforms and services.
The DSA is a legislative package proposed by the European Commission to regulate digital services and platforms operating within the European Union. It seeks to establish rules for online intermediaries, addressing issues such as content moderation, transparency, accountability, and user protection. The DSA aims to create a safer online environment by holding tech companies accountable for harmful content, ensuring the protection of minors, and promoting transparency in their operations. If companies fail to comply with the DSA, the European Commission will have the authority to investigate and impose fines to enforce regulatory standards.
