Digital services

On 17 February 2024, Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 on a Single Market for Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act) came into full effect, significantly changing the rules for the operation of online intermediary services (internet access service providers, caching services, online marketplaces, social networks, cloud services, online platforms, web hosting or online search engines). The DSA gives users of these services new rights that will give them greater control over the services they provide. The DSA also helps to create a safer online environment. Compliance with the new rules will be supervised by a Digital Services Coordinator - the Czech Telecommunication Office. Its remit will be regulated by the Digital Economy Act, which adapts the DSA in the Czech Republic.
