The Digital Services Act (DSA) enters into force: a new landscape for large companies

A revolution in the regulation of the digital sector: all the obligations of large companies according to the Digital Services Act (DSA)

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is new EU legislation that regulates digital services and imposes greater responsibilities on big companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Google. Objective: security, transparency and fight against illegal content.

The Digital Services Act (DSA) has finally gone into effect, bringing with it major changes for big companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Google. This new legislation, issued by the European Union, aims to regulate the digital services sector and to ensure greater security and transparency for users. Online platforms, such as social media and search engines, will now have to comply with a set of requirements and responsibilities defined by the DSA, in order to ensure a safer and fairer digital environment.

The main measures that large companies will have to adopt

Companies like Meta and Google will need to take steps to prevent and combat the spread of illegal content, such as child pornography, terrorism and hate speech. Furthermore, the DSA requires platforms to provide greater transparency regarding the algorithm used to create content feeds, in order to avoid information manipulation and the dissemination of false news. This provision is particularly important in the current context, where the spread of disinformation and fake news has proven to have a significant impact on society and politics.

More responsibility to cloud service providers

In addition to this, the DSA also introduces greater liability for companies that offer cloud computing and user interconnection services, such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. These companies will have to comply with the security standards required by the EU and guarantee the protection of user data. They will also be required to provide easy access to information on data protection policies and their security management mechanisms.

Counter the spread of illegal content

The Digital Services Act represents an important step forward to ensure safer and more responsible use of digital services. Big companies like Meta and Google, along with other online platforms, will have to take concrete measures to counter the spread of illegal content and ensure the transparency of their policies. At the same time, cloud computing and user interconnection services will have to comply with EU data protection and security standards. These measures are crucial to create a more trustworthy digital environment and to protect users' interests.
