The regulatory instrument stems from the European Commission’s highly anticipated Digital Services Act (DSA). Following on from an initial round of feedback on the roadmap for this initiative, the Commission has opened a public consultation to ensure stakeholders’ voices are heard.
Our webinar will cover some of the contentious issues with the initiative, raise some of the burning questions that the Commission will need to address, and provide you with best practices to respond to the public consultation.
Speakers:
- Charles Whiddington, Steptoe
- Anne MacGregor, FTI Consulting
- Kay Jebelli, Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA)
Topics for discussion:
- Consider the policy options put up by the Commission.
- Should the options be limited to large platforms?
- How will the options impact on other initiatives such as environmental and fundamental rights?
