Digital Services Act

Rubicon Impact & Litigation is committed to safeguarding a digital space that protects user rights and promotes innovation. Digital services play a key role in this.

Providers of online intermediary services not only have to deal with legislation in areas such as Privacy & Data Protection and AI. Since February 2024, they also have to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA).

The DSA contains rules for different types of online players, such as content sharing platforms, app stores, online marketplaces, search engines, social media and certain apps. Both large and small services must follow rules on (among other things) transparency, illegal content, advertising, deception, dark patterns, and the protection of minors. The DSA has a tiered system of obligations – specific rules apply to specific providers. For the very large parties, the Very Large Online Platforms and Very Large Online Search Engines – services with more than 45 million monthly European users – the strictest rules apply.

Rubicon Impact & Litigation specializes in the application of the DSA, both in terms of legal action against parties who fail to comply with their obligations and in terms of advice on compliance with the various obligations.
