The Digital Services Act includes rules for online intermediary services; hosting services, marketplaces, and online platforms, which millions of Europeans use every day. The obligations of different online players match their role, size and impact in the online ecosystem with specific focus on Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs).
Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) are the platforms that have over 45 million average monthly users in the EU. There are 19 platforms designated as of now:
The EU's DSA will be enforced through National Authorities and the EU Commission – national authorities will have to designate a competent authority to supervise and enforce. For VLOPs and VLOSEs, the EU Commission will be the body of enforcement.
According to Article 52, non-compliance can attract penalties of up to 6% of annual worldwide revenue. Furthermore, Article 54 states that companies and platforms will also have exposure to civil suits and liability as individuals, businesses and other users can seek compensation for any damage or loss suffered from non-compliance/infringement.
