Today, we've designated Shein as a Very Large Online Platform under the #DSA.

Shein is a online fashion retailer with over 45 million monthly users in 🇪🇺.

Following the designation, the platform will have to comply with the most stringent rules under the DSA within four months of its notification.

This brings the total of very large online platforms and search engines under the DSA to 23.

We must protect our free and fair #elections.

This is why we have conducted a stress test to ensure the readiness of Very Large Online Platforms to counter potential manipulation and interference using the tools provided by the Digital Services Act.

It addressed multiple scenarios, including:

⚠ Information manipulation via deep fakes, other AI uses
⚠ Attempts of suppression of voices

⚠ Online incitement to violence

⚠️ Opening of formal proceedings against TikTok under the Digital Services Act.

We are concerned that TikTok has launched the "Task and Reward Program" of TikTok Lite without conducting a diligent assessment of the risks it entails.

We suspect an infringement of the #DSA, and we consider that there are risks of serious damage for the mental health of users.

Therefore, we have communicated to TikTok our intention to suspend the TikTok Lite rewards programme in the EU.

Komisja Europejska wciągnęła największe platformy pornograficzne na listę VLOP-ów:

To zmusi je do mapowania ryzyka i minimalizowania go.

Byliśmy w grupie organizacji, które walczyły o to, żeby te największe platformy pornograficzne poddać kontroli zgodnie z #DSA, jako VLOP-y. Dlaczego to ważne, wyjaśnialiśmy na stronie:

Meanwhile disastrous EU regulation like #uploadfilters, #linktax and the #DSA primarly serve to weaken smaller companies and actors, leading to an even worse environment for any and and all european digital businesses.

Please do us a favour and stop regulating... your regulation in the last 15 years only made my life as a user and as a citizen worse.

Online platforms must be accountable for ensuring safer, more transparent online spaces.

As of next week, adult entertainment platforms Pornhub, Stripchat and Xvideos will have to comply with the most stringent obligations under the Digital Services Act, including:

- Submitting risk assessment reports
- Putting in place mitigation measures to address systemic risks
- Complying with additional transparency obligations
- Providing access to data for researchers
