Background

The DSA fully entered into application as of 17 of February2024, and now applies to all online intermediaries in the EU. Member States had to appoint and empower, by that date, their Digital Services Coordinators, which are independent regulators that work with each other and the Commission to ensure the correct application of the DSA in their Member States.

The European Board for Digital Services is an independent advisory group that will ensure that the DSA is applied consistently across the EU and will be consulted on the enforcement of the DSA.
