These very large online platforms and very large online search engines have until Friday to provide their first annual risk assessment to the European Commission.
"Complying with the DSA is not a punishment – it is an opportunity for these online platforms to reinforce their brand value and reputation as a trustworthy site," Breton said in a statement.
"My services and I will thoroughly enforce the DSA, and fully use our new powers to investigate and sanction platforms where warranted," he said.
