The Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU’s new online safety & content moderation regulation, will apply to most in-scope organisations from 17 February 2024.
As the compliance clock is ticking, our expert lawyers from Bird & Bird’s European data regulatory practice ran a webinar on 19 October 2023 to discuss points to prioritise and practical steps, taking learnings from existing political debate, guidance, and CJEU case-law under previous platform liability rules. They also discussed what we can learn from VLOPS’/VLOSEs’ compliance efforts so far (since these organisations have had to comply since 25 August 2023).
For global organisations who have a UK presence and will be in-scope of the UK’s upcoming Online Safety Bill (OSB), James Moss, Partner in our UK Privacy & Data Protection practice, also highlighted the key differences between the two regimes.
