Digital Services Act
The European Union Digital Services Act (DSA) (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) regulates online intermediaries and platform to ensure a safe and accountable online environment.
The purpose of the EU's DSA is to ensure that consumers and their fundamental rights are protected when engaging online, and to establish a transparent and accountable framework for online platforms.
