Brussels, Sept. 1 (LaPresse) – "The DSA and DMA are our sovereign legislations. They are non-discriminatory and apply to all online platforms within the EU. They fully protect our fundamental rights, including freedom of expression. I will continue to enforce them for our children, citizens, and businesses." This was written on social media by Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Technological Sovereignty of the European Commission, sharing the letter sent to Jim Jordan, Chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee.
"The Digital Services Act, like the Digital Markets Act, is sovereign EU legislation, adopted by a vast majority of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. It applies exclusively within the European Union to all services provided there, regardless of the location of the provider's headquarters. It does not have extraterritorial jurisdiction in the United States or any other non-EU country. Some platform services falling within the scope of the Digital Services Act have hundreds of millions of active users in the EU," the Commissioner wrote.
