On 18 March, the Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee (IMCO) hosted a public hearing about the enforcement and implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA). The aim of the hearing is to discuss the effective implementation and enforcement of the DSA.

IMCO invited high-level representatives of the Commission, representatives of companies (key platforms and non-VLOPs) and Member States' authorities, as well as other stakeholders (trusted flaggers, researchers, academics, NGOs and organisations representing consumers' interests) in order to discuss the state of play and challenges related to the implementation and enforcement of the DSA. The exchange of views addressed main compliance burdens and challenges in content moderation and transparency obligations, development of codes of conduct, safeguards for freedom of speech, as well as the protection of consumer rights in the digital market.
