The European Parliament has officially approved the Digital Services Act, a set of rules designed to modernize e-commerce regulations regarding content legality, advertising, and information accuracy.
“Everything that is illegal offline will now also be illegal online” said Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission. The DSA includes several key measures: -Actions to combat illegal online content; – A requirement for platforms to respond quickly while respecting fundamental rights, such as freedom of expression and data protection; – Strengthening the traceability and monitoring of commercial operators on online marketplaces to ensure product and service safety;
– Clear guidelines on the responsibility of digital platforms;
– A ban on deceptive practices and certain types of targeted advertising;
– Greater accountability for online platforms with over 45 million monthly users, requiring them to take specific steps to prevent systemic risks like the spread of illegal content, undergo independent audits, allow users to opt out of personalized recommendations, and provide authorities and authorized researchers access to their data and algorithms. Il testo dovrà passare al vaglio della Commissione Europea prima di essere implementato e di conseguenza recepito da tutti i Paesi dell’Unione.
