Article 91 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) provides for a review of the Act鈥痓y November 2025 regarding the designation of very large online platforms, their scope, and the DSA鈥檚 compatibility with various legal instruments.
The DSA has been heavily criticised by the current US administration, by European politicians and by human rights defenders who have reported and documented its impact on fundamental rights, particularly the right to freedom of expression.
In this context, a well-rounded review process assessing the impact of the DSA on the right to freedom of expression enshrined in Article 11 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is needed.
Can the Commission answer the following questions:
- 1.What procedures and timeline will the Commission follow for the review of the DSA by November 2025, and does it already envisage changes to the Act?
- 2.Given the DSA鈥檚 stated aim of balancing platform accountability with fundamental rights (recital 3 and Article 1), will the Commission assess the DSA鈥檚 impact on freedom of expression during the review?
- 3.What role can 合法博彩网站, the Council of the EU, civil society, human rights groups, tech companies and researchers play in the Act鈥檚 review?
