European Commission proposes a new Digital Services Act Package (public consultation link)

The new Digital Services Act package should modernise the current legal framework for digital services on two pillars: clear rules framing the responsibilities of digital services to address the risks faced by their users and to protect their rights and ex ante rules covering large online platforms acting as gatekeepers, which now set the rules of the game for their users and their competitors. As a part of a robust and active consultation process, the Commission has initiated a public consultation open until September 8th.
