Framework hub

Digital Services Act

The DSA matters for builders who operate online intermediaries, hosting services, marketplaces, app stores, social features, or other user-content platforms used in the EU.

EU baseline

If you are established in the EU, operate in the EU, or place this product or service on the EU market, treat this as a first-order compliance check. Non-EU reach language means outsiders can also be covered, not that EU companies are outside scope.

Review scope

Focus 1

Builder trigger

Check DSA when users can post, sell, list, host, search, share, or moderate content, goods, services, or accounts through your product.

Focus 2

Common product duties

The practical themes are notice-and-action flows, content moderation transparency, complaint handling, trader traceability for marketplaces, advertising transparency, and minor protection.

Focus 3

Small platform reality

Most small builders are not very large online platforms, but baseline intermediary and hosting duties can still matter once the product serves EU users.

Focus 4

Official Commission page

The Commission describes the DSA as covering online services including marketplaces, social networks, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms.
