Consultation on the Digital Services Act

The Commission announced a Digital Services Act package, which is currently open for a public consultation. The Digital Services Act aims at targeting both online harms in the wider sense as well as the potential gatekeeper role of platforms. Further, it addresses the current liability regime of intermediaries as defined in the e-Commerce Directive. Thus it will be an important cornerstone of future internet regulation and define some basic rules currently tackled in the e-Commerce Directive.

Please let us know your views on how and if platforms should be regulated in the future! The voice of SMEs counts in this debate as we need to make sure that they will not dis-proportionally suffer from additional regulatory burden, but that problems related to the role of platforms in terms of dominance and harmful content will be addressed.
