Abstract

The Digital Services Act, which became applicable on 17 February 2024, has significant implications for all providers of intermediary services operating within the Union, as it requires them to adapt their practices in terms of transparency, risk management and website design in order to minimise risks for all digital users. Given the demands and the significance of the Regulation’s requirements, it is essential to define its scope of application and specify which legal entities are affected by it. To this end, this research aims to examine in depth the four dimensions of the scope of application of the Digital Services Regulation (material, temporal, personal and territorial) with a view to assessing its suitability and its capacity to achieve the ambitious objectives of this European instrument.
