I am an associate in the Privacy and Tech & Comms teams in Belgium. My work covers topics ranging from data protection and the EU's new digital legislation to cybersecurity, regulatory advice on telecommunications and the review of IT contracts.
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.
