The Digital Services Act (DSA) provides several benefits for your company:
-
One single set of rules across the EU
All online services operating in the European Union are required to comply with the DSA. The DSA replaces 27 different regulations with one unified framework, giving you legal certainty and the ability to scale up across the EU. -
A proportionate approach
The DSA’s obligations are tailored to each online services’ role, size and impact in the online ecosystem. Micro and small companies have lighter requirements based on their size, to keep them accountable while helping them scale up, while bigger platforms have more responsibilities and therefore, obligations. -
Simplified reporting of illegal content
You can use a user-friendly mechanism to flag illegal content and goods that infringe your rights, including intellectual property rights. Your company may also become ‘trusted flaggers’, whose notices of illegal content or goods gain priority in platforms’ assessment. -
Better protection against unfair content moderation decisions
New appealing mechanisms through the platform or through out-of-court dispute settlement bodies allow you to protect your online presence in case you disagree with a content moderation decision by a platform. -
More transparency on marketplaces
New obligations for marketplaces, such as the requirement to list a seller’s contact information, enhance transparency and trustworthiness in ecommerce. For the same reason, the DSA requires marketplaces to make reasonable efforts to perform random checks on products sold on their service or adopt new technologies for product traceability.
