"EU's New Law Puts Big Tech Giants in the Hot Seat"

The European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) comes into force, imposing stricter rules on big tech companies to police digital content and protect users from disinformation and hate speech. Companies failing to comply risk heavy fines. The DSA applies to platforms with at least 45 million active monthly users, including Amazon, Apple, Google, and social media giants like Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. Despite legal challenges, companies are expected to rush to comply. The EU will also introduce the Digital Markets Act (DMA) next month, targeting tech companies that must obey tougher competition rules. The DSA's impact may extend beyond Europe, and more intense regulatory scrutiny is expected in the future.
