Social media platforms will no longer behave like they are “too big to care”.
 
Whether they have feathers or not 🐦

As #DSA enters into force today, these are the 4️⃣ steps ahead for digital platforms to comply with our 🇪🇺 rules

🧵 Image
1⃣ Transparency on numbers 👀
 
By 17 February 2023, online platforms will have to report the number of their active end users.

Based on these numbers, we will assess if they are:

✔️Very Large Online Platforms
#VLOPs

✔️Very Large Online Search Engines #VLOSEs
2⃣ Comply AND explain 🔎

Once designed as such, these very large entities will have 4 months to comply with the obligations under the DSA.

Notably on content #moderation and #risk assessments.

The Commission will thoroughly examine this compliance starting summer 2023.
3⃣ Concrete effects 🆕
 
By summer 2023, the first very concrete effects of the #DSA will be visible for all 🇪🇺 users.
 
This includes:

🚩Accessible "button" to easily flag illegal content
 
👓Terms & conditions that have to be clear & intelligible for everyone – incl. minors
4⃣ Digital Services Coordinators 🕵️‍♀️

By 17 February 2024 (the *final* date of entry in application), 🇪🇺 Member States will have their own Digital Services #Coordinators.

They will liaise with the Commission to make sure rules are applied everywhere, by everyone.

#Enforcement
The #DSA will be supported by strong oversight & enforcement:

💸 #fines of up to 6% of global turnover

⛔️ And even a #ban from the EU in case of repeated serious breaches

To conclude:👇

Everyone is welcome to do business in the 🇪🇺, but they will have to follow our rules.

Today might be D-Day for the Digital Services Act!

Together with the European Parliament & Council, the Commission has worked in record time to protect 🇪🇺 citizens online.

Here are the 10 things you need to know about the #DSA ahead of our (hopefully) final trilogue.

🧵⤵️
1️⃣ With great power comes great responsibility 🕷
 
The DSA is setting clear, harmonised #obligations for platforms – proportionate to size, impact & risk.

#DSA
2⃣ A harmonised system to fight ALL forms of #illegal content – from counterfeit or dangerous products to hate speech 🥷🏻
 
Any national authority will be able to request that illegal content is removed, regardless of where the platform is established in Europe.
