What it does, and what it leaves to you
- Covers: the Chapter III tiers: all intermediaries, hosting, online platforms, online marketplaces, and very large platforms and search engines, plus the micro and small enterprise exemption.
- Gives: your category, the duties with Articles, and the penalty ceiling.
- Not decided: borderline calls on what counts as public dissemination, how users are counted, group and partner enterprise rules for the small test, national rules, sector law such as the GDPR, copyright and consumer law, and anything that changed after this page was written. Your Digital Services Coordinator or counsel decides these.

Common questions
What is the Digital Services Act?
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 sets duties for online intermediaries (hosting, platforms, marketplaces, search engines) by category and size. It has applied to all in-scope services since 17 February 2024.
Do small companies have to comply?
Yes for the baseline duties (contact points, terms, notice and action for hosts). Micro and small enterprises (under 50 staff and at most EUR 10M turnover or balance sheet) are exempt from the heavier online platform and marketplace duties and from the annual transparency report, but not from publishing their monthly active EU users.
What makes a platform very large?
An average of 45 million or more monthly active EU recipients, followed by a Commission designation. Duties apply four months after designation and the exemption for small enterprises does not apply.
Does it apply to a company outside the EU?
Yes, if it offers intermediary services to people in the EU. Without an EU establishment, Art. 13 requires an EU legal representative.
