Already applicable to Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large Online Search Engines for a few months now, 17 February 2024 marked the day on which the Digital Services Act1 (the "DSA") has applied in its entirety to all providers of intermediary services (digital services) offered to users located in the European Union (irrespective of the place of establishment of these providers).

The providers of digital services targeted by the DSA are, for example:

  • internet service providers,
  • providers of website hosting services and cloud computing services, or
  • online platforms (online marketplaces, content sharing platforms, social networks, etc.).

Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large Online Search Engines are qualified as such and subject to the strictest obligations set out by the DSA, when online platforms and search engines have a number of average monthly active users of their service in the EU equal to or higher than 45 million.
