Abstract
The Digital Services Act (DSA), approved by the EU in 2022, modified the existing legislation concerning obligations of intermediary services providers, so as to ensure better protection for fundamental rights of users and establish a transparent and competitive framework for digital platforms. In this context, several cross-border issues may arise, in particular about the territorial and substantive scope of the DSA, the possible nature of overriding mandatory rules of some of its provisions and the possible relevance of public policy. This paper aims to analyse the DSA from the point of view of private international law, underlining its importance in the application of the new EU rules.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
