European Union Announces Comprehensive Digital Services Act Implementation

The European Union has announced the full implementation of its Digital Services Act, one of the most comprehensive pieces of tech regulation ever created. The legislation establishes strict requirements for large online platforms regarding content moderation, data privacy, and algorithmic transparency. Companies with more than 45 million users in the EU must now provide detailed explanations of their recommendation algorithms, allow users to opt out of personalized content, and implement robust systems for removing illegal content. The act also includes provisions to prevent the spread of disinformation and protect children online. Violations can result in fines of up to 6% of global annual revenue. Major tech companies have already begun implementing changes to comply with the new regulations, which are expected to influence similar legislation worldwide.
