Digital Services Act: a provisional agreement was reached by the Council and the European Parliament

Almost a month after the provisional agreement found by the Council and the European Parliament on the Digital Market Act (DMA), they also reached a provisional agreement on April 23, 2022 on the Digital Services Act (DSA),  second flagship piece of this EU legislation which is meant to set the standards for a safe digital environment.

This act, which applies to all online intermediaries providing services across the European Union, mainly aims at tackling the spread of illegal content online and ensuring a better protection of the fundamental rights of their users.

It must now be validated on a technical point of view and formally approved by both institutions.
