In 2022, the European Commission adopted the Digital Services Regulation. This European regulation, which comes into force on February 17, imposes new obligations.
The DSA already applies, since the end of August 2023, to online platforms and search engines with more than 45 million users in the European Union. The regulation now extends to all companies present in the EU information space, as well as their intermediaries. A fine of 6% of their global turnover will be imposed on companies that do not comply.
