Framework reference
DSA for EU B2B software companies.
The DSA applies to online intermediaries, hosting services, and online platforms serving EU users. For software companies, it matters most when the product hosts user content, operates a marketplace, or provides platform features that require moderation, transparency, and risk controls.

The obligation, in the act's words
Providers of hosting services shall put mechanisms in place to allow any individual or entity to notify them of the presence on their service of specific items of information that the individual or entity considers to be illegal content.
A mechanism that exists but is not operated is not a mechanism; what gets examined is the handling record behind it.
Who it applies to
- Online platforms, marketplaces, hosting providers, and intermediary services.
- Companies offering platform services to EU users.
- Vendors that support DSA-regulated customer workflows.
What you need to do
- Notice-and-action handling, transparency, complaint processes, and risk controls.
- Vendor and system evidence supporting moderation and platform governance.
- Clear ownership for operational processes that affect users.
