What is DSA?

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 grants users of these services new rights that will give them greater control over the services they provide. The Regulation also helps to create a safer online environment. Compliance with the new rules will be overseen by a Digital Services Coordinator - Czech Telecommunication Office. Its remit will be regulated by the Digital Economy Act, which adapts the DSA Regulation in the Czech Republic.
