The European Parliament is set to debate the new Digital Services Act (DSA) in October. The DSA is expected to introduce new concepts and focus on: (1) new rules needed to frame the responsibilities of digital service providers, address risks faced by users, and boost innovative services across the EU; (2) a clear binding mechanism to tackle illegal content online; and (3) creating specific rules for big platforms to ease market entry for SMEs and start-ups. The debate will take place during the 19-22 October plenary session. A report will then be sent to the European Commission to feed into its DSA package, which is to be tabled before the end of the year.
