The legislation aims to tackle problems as wide-ranging as misogyny, disinformation and consumer fraud
Here is a guide to the DSA and what it means for tech platforms and their users.The DSA applies within the EU and regulates, in typical legislative jargon, digital services that act as “intermediaries” in their role of connecting consumers with content, goods and services. This means not only are the likes of Facebook and Google within the scope of the bill, but also Amazon and app stores.
Violations carry the threat of a fine of 6% of global turnover and, in the most serious cases, a temporary suspension of the service. The EU can also demand that sites take immediate action to deal with problems. Users will be able to seek compensation for any damage caused to them by a breach of the act.The act splits tech firms into tiers. The most heavily regulated tier covers Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large online Search Engines that have more than 45 million monthly active users.
The big platforms will also have to publish an independent audit of their compliance with the act, as well as how many people they use in content moderation. They must also provide to regulators details of the workings of their algorithms, which curate what you view online by recommending content. Independent researchers will also be allowed to monitor compliance with the act.
