From February 2024, one of the biggest laws passed by the EU in recent years will come into force, yet little has been said about it publicly in the market. We want to change that and put the Digital Services Act (DSA) in the spotlight. Many questions are still unanswered, but there is not much time left. That is why we are clarifying which companies are directly and indirectly affected by the DSA. Why the advertising industry could be permanently changed by the DSA. And last but not least, how you can prepare as well as possible now.
