The Netherlands’ Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has taken a significant step in facilitating compliance with the European Union’s (EU) Digital Services Act (DSA) by issuing comprehensive guidelines aimed at online platforms. This move comes as the DSA, a set of EU-wide regulations enacted last August, imposes stricter rules on platforms with over 45 million monthly average users in the EU.
The guidelines are designed to assist companies, particularly online platforms and service providers, in understanding and meeting their obligations under the DSA. The ACM, which is poised to be the national enforcer for both the DSA and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), seeks collaboration with online platforms and service providers in finalizing the guidelines.
