Enhance Your Understanding of the Impact of EU Online Content Legislation on Messaging Apps like Telegram 📱
EU tech regulators are currently engaging with messaging app Telegram as it approaches a crucial usage criterion that may subject it to more stringent requirements under the Digital Services Act. This Act, which came into effect last year, imposes tougher obligations on online intermediaries and platforms, particularly on Big Tech companies, to take more proactive measures in monitoring and removing illegal and harmful content from their platforms.
Key Updates on EU Regulation for Messaging Apps 📝
– The Digital Services Act (DSA) 📱
– Applies to all online intermediaries and platforms
– Imposes stricter obligations on Big Tech companies
– Telegram’s Situation 🚨

– Just below the 45 million threshold for being labeled as a very large online platform (VLOP) 📈
Monitoring and Engagement with Digital Service Coordinators ✅
Telegraph currently maintains close communication with EU regulators, and the European Commission is closely monitoring developments and interacting with digital service coordinators to ensure compliance with the evolving regulations. In addition to Telegram, other prominent online platforms like Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, AliExpress, and several others have already been designated as VLOPs, subject to stricter obligations under the EU legislation.
