EU internet regulation pushes Facebook to sanitise Metaverse

London/New Delhi 26 November : The European Union (EU), Council has adopted the draft Digital Services Act and a Digital Markets Act to better control hate speech and cyber threats.Experts on Friday stated that the EU’s twin internet regulation package will further press global social networks like Meta (formerly Facebook) into better police of their platforms in the future age of Metaverse.
The DSA proposal aims to protect users from illegal goods, content, or services online and to preserve their fundamental rights.It is based on the principle that online illegality should be applied to offline illegalities.

“Whereas the internet was born in a regulatory Wild West environment, future metaverse experiences will be governed by the simple maxim awhat’s illegal off-line will also be illegal in the metaverse,” stated Emma Mohr McClune, technology director at GlobalData, a leading data analytics and data company.

“Taken together, the DMA/DSA will usher in a era of faster EU regulation action and larger fines to violators; potentially as high as 10% of global turnover,” she stated in a statement.

The DSA rules are intended to clarify and expand a common set responsibilities for online businesses that provide services in the EU from any part of the world.

The proposal outlines clear responsibilities for intermediary service providers, such as online marketplaces and social media.

Once adopted, the DSA provides a modern, future-proof governance structure and outlines clear due-diligence requirements for online intermediary services.

“The Digital Services Act represents a significant and necessary step towards creating a safer online environment.

It provides solutions to the safety of our citizens in 21st century, for businesses and for democracies,” Mark Boris Andrijanic, Slovenian Minister for Digital Transformation, said.

Mohr-McClune claims that the DMA, which defines larger digital platforms as service providers and ‘gatekeepers of online content’ rather than the long-disputed role of ‘content providers’, will increase pressure on global social networks like Meta (formerly known under the name Facebook) to better police their platforms.

She noted that “the granularity and economic responsibilities implied in ‘gatekeeper’ creates a regulatory template for other markets to consider replicating.”
