Why is this webinar relevant for you?
The Digital Services Act will affect any platform hosting user-generated content which qualifies as hosting intermediary services:
- Social media platforms & Online marketplaces (eg. you secondhand shop app)
- Online media sharing platforms (eg. your music app) & Collaborative production platform (eg your knowledge-based app)
Collaborative Economy services (eg. your private driver app) & Rating & review platforms (eg. your food’s ingredients & cosmetics decoding app)
- Web Hosting platforms & Search tools (eg. your online search bar)
- Could services platforms & file storage & sharing platforms (eg. your holidays pictures storing app)
What’s at stake?
- The intermediary liability exemption for platforms hosting user-generated content – One set of simple, proportional and harmonised rules for all businesses in Europe
- The prohibition of the general monitoring of online content – No obligation to control all the content available on your platform
- The preservation of the country of origin and freedom of establishment principles – Do business from and to everywhere in Europe!
