Learn about UK online safety and compare it with Digital Service Act (DSA) efforts in a LinkedIn Live webinar hosted by Bird & Bird.
The webinar, titled “UK Online Safety: Where to Start and How DSA Efforts Compare,” will take place on LinkedIn Live on Thursday, March 14, 2024, from 15:30 to 16:30 GMT.
The recent passing of the Digital Service Act (DSA) application deadline has brought relief to some platforms that have completed their foundational compliance phase. However, for platforms with UK users, there is no time for a pause. The Online Safety Act (OSA) poses significant challenges with its wide extra-territorial scope, substantial fines (up to 10x global annual turnover), and the impending close of Ofcom’s first consultation under the OSA. Now is a crucial time for platforms to initiate preparations for UK online safety compliance, recognizing substantial differences from the DSA. This is particularly relevant for services allowing user-generated content or offering wider user-to-user functionality.
The webinar will feature insights from Emma Drake, Legal Director, UK, and Matthew Buckwell, Senior Associate, UK.
During the webinar, the speakers will delve into several key topics. They will discuss the identification of services covered by the OSA, the understanding of duties imposed by the OSA, the recognition of why DSA compliance efforts may not align with UK requirements, and recommendations for the necessary actions that companies should take at this juncture.
Upon registration, attendees will be redirected to the LinkedIn page hosting the event, and a LinkedIn account is required to watch the webinar live. Share the invitation with your colleagues and help us secure broader participation in this informative session!
