Compliance and Strategic Insights on the Digital Services Act (DSA) & Digital Markets Act (DMA)
Overview
The Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) are transforming the regulatory landscape for digital companies in the EU. While the DSA introduces new obligations regarding content moderation, transparency, and user protection—targeting large online platforms in particular—the DMA imposes strict rules on major players in the digital market to ensure fair competition. This webinar aims to provide an overview of both regulations, highlighting their key provisions, compliance challenges, and strategic implications for businesses operating in the digital space. The goal is to equip participants with valuable knowledge on how these important legislative measures might impact their business and what steps to take to remain compliant and competitive in the digital economy.
