European Union’s (EU’s) Digital Services Act (DSA)

Subject: Science & tech

Section: Msc

Context- The European Parliament and European Union (EU) Member States have reached a political agreement on the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Concept-

  • The Act, which is yet to become law, was proposed by the EU Commission (anti-trust) in December 2020.
  • The DSA will tightly regulate the way intermediaries, especially large platforms such as Google, Facebook, and YouTube, function when it comes to moderating user content.
  • The DSA is “a set of common rules on intermediaries’ obligations and accountability across the single market”, and ensures higher protection to all EU users, irrespective of their country.
  • It will be a landmark legislation to force big Internet companies to act against disinformation and illegal and harmful content, and to “provide better protection for Internet users and their fundamental rights”.
  • The proposed Act will work in conjunction with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which was approved last month.
  • The DSA is likely to be adopted by the EU Parliament in the next few months. Once adopted, “it will apply from fifteen months or from January 1, 2024, whichever is later”.

Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021- For India

  • These new rules broadly deal with social media and over-the-top (OTT)
  • These rules have been framed in exercise of powers under section 87 (2) of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000 and in supersession of the earlier Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules 2011.
