Since August 25, 2023 , the DSA must be complied with by platforms and search engines with more than 45 million monthly active users in the European Union . This concerns the following platforms: AliExpress, Amazon Store, AppStore, Bing, Booking, Facebook, Google Maps, Google Play, Google Search, Google Shopping, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, Wikipedia, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube and Zalando. This list was completed on December 20, 2023 by three asia mobile number list pornographic sites.
From 17 February 2024, the regulation applies to all online platforms and intermediaries that offer their services (goods, content or services) on the European market : Internet access providers, marketplaces , cloud, social networks, online travel and accommodation platforms, etc.
As the Council of the European Union states on its website , the rules are proportionate to the size of the companies and their impact on society. Very small platforms (companies with fewer than 50 employees and an annual turnover of less than €10 million) are exempt from most of the obligations .
What are the measures?
The platforms concerned must:
set up a system for reporting illegal content ,
cooperate with the judicial authorities ,
prioritize reporting from organizations recognized for their competence and expertise, known as “ trusted reporters ,”
suspend accounts publishing illegal content ,
prohibit advertising targeting minors or based on sensitive data ,
protect consumers by ensuring the identity of the seller in online marketplaces ,
analyze the risks linked to their services in terms of illegal content, attacks on privacy or freedom of expression, health or security and implement the means to mitigate them.
For Internet users, this will take the form, for example, of providing a simple solution enabling them to report illegal content.
Stricter rules apply to very large platforms and search engines , whether it concerns the annual risk analysis or the transmission of the algorithms of their interfaces to the competent authorities.
In addition, a " digital services coordinator ", an independent authority designated by each EU Member State, is being set up. In France, this role is held by Arcom .
