Frequently Asked Questions on Digital Markets & Online Platforms Regulations
What is the difference between the DSA and the DMA?
The Digital Services Act (DSA) focuses on platform liability, content moderation, user safety, and algorithmic transparency for all online intermediaries (with enhanced duties for VLOPs). The Digital Markets Act (DMA) targets antitrust contestability and fairness, prohibiting designated 'gatekeepers' from self-preferencing, tying services, or restricting interoperability.
Which companies have been designated as DMA gatekeepers and on which core platform services?
The European Commission has designated Alphabet (Google Search, Android, Google Maps, Google Play, Google Shopping, Google Ads, Chrome, YouTube), Amazon (Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Ads), Apple (iOS, App Store, Safari), ByteDance (TikTok), Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Meta Ads, Meta Marketplace), and Microsoft (Windows, LinkedIn) as gatekeepers across 22+ core platform services.
What systemic risk and content moderation obligations does the DSA impose on VLOPs?
Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs, with 45M+ monthly active EU users) must conduct annual systemic risk assessments covering illegal content, fundamental rights impacts, electoral manipulation, and public health. They must commission independent audits, provide researcher data access via vetted requests, deploy crisis response protocols, ensure advertising transparency repositories, and offer users the right to opt out of profiling-based recommender systems.
