Digital Services Act and Protection of Minors Online The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) aims to foster safer online environments through the regulation of online intermediaries, including very large online platforms and search engines. The DSA requires these very large platforms and search engines to engage in risk mitigation across a wide range of risk domains, including risks posed to children and young people. Moreover, the DSA imposes specific obligations on all online platforms to ensure a high level of privacy, safety and security for minors who use their services. Regulators and service providers seeking to implement these requirements face not only technical hurdles, but also normative questions about how to achieve a balance that best vindicates the fundamental rights of young users. Successful implementation will deliver safer digital environments, while maintaining the ability of young users to positively interact with the online world. CERRE’s DSA Implementation Foru Less
