The Platform Regulation Academy Blog

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is an EU Regulation (2022/2065) aiming to assure fairness, trust, and safety in the digital environment. It preserves and upgrades the liability exemptions for online intermediaries that exist in the European framework since 2000. It exempts digital infrastructure-layer services, such as internet access providers, and application-layer services, such as social networks and file-hosting services, from liability for third-party content.
