Abstract

The paper aims to illustrate the Proposal for a Regulation known as Digital Services Act, highlighting its key features but also its critical points. In particular, the liability regime of the internet service provider as outlined in the proposal – besides mainly based on current regulations – does not seem to have removed the many pitfalls of the current legislation. In addition, the scope and application of the due diligence obligations introduced by the Digital Services Act are far from clear.
