SUMMARY:Digital Services Act (DSA) applies EU-wide\; most transparency duti
 es exempt micro/small enterprises
DESCRIPTION:The DSA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) has applied to all intermed
 iary services (hosting\, marketplaces\, app stores\, search engines\, soci
 al networks\, etc.) established or offering services in the EU since 17 Fe
 bruary 2024\, with baseline due-diligence duties: notice-and-action for il
 legal content\, terms-of-service transparency\, and a single point of cont
 act for authorities. Most of the heavier Chapter III Section 3 duties (rec
 ommender-system transparency\, targeted-advertising disclosures\, out-of-c
 ourt dispute settlement\, trader traceability for marketplaces) do not app
 ly to providers that qualify as micro or small enterprises\, unless design
 ated as a 'very large online platform' or 'very large online search engine
 ' by the Commission.\n\nWho is affected: Any business offering an online i
 ntermediary service to users in the EU: hosting user content\, running a m
 arketplace or listings feature\, an app store\, a search engine\, a social
  network. A micro or small enterprise (fewer than 50 staff\, turnover/bala
 nce sheet under EUR 10M) is exempt from the Section 3 transparency\, recom
 mender-system and advertising duties\, and keeps that exemption for a furt
 her 12 months after it stops qualifying. A company that only sells its own
  goods or services online\, without hosting third-party content or listing
 s (a typical single-vendor e-commerce store or a SaaS product)\, is genera
 lly not itself an 'intermediary service' under the DSA at all.\n\nWhat to 
 do: Confirm whether your service is an 'intermediary service' under DSA Ar
 t. 3 (hosting/caching/mere-conduit\, including any marketplace or listings
  feature). If so\, and you are not micro/small\, review the Section 3 duti
 es (recommender transparency\, ad disclosures\, trader KYC for marketplace
 s). If micro/small\, keep baseline notice-and-action and terms-of-service 
 transparency in place\, and re-check your size classification yearly.\n\nP
 enalty: Up to 6% of annual worldwide turnover\n\n\nStatus: In force\nhttps
