    Due Diligence Obligations in the DSA: DOT Europe Questions for Consideration

    December 2020: Many different stakeholders in the DSA debate have identified specific issues they wish to address in the online ecosystem, and have floated suggestions on how to do so - ranging from transparency reporting, to a “know your business customer” obligation, to notice and action rules. Collectively we have often seen these various measures referred to as “due diligence obligations”. For the DSA, DOT Europe wishes to offer some thoughts and questions regarding some of the due diligence obligations, which we believe will need to be considered to help deliver a balanced and proportionate framework.
