The DSA has applied to all platforms since 17 February 2024. Regulators have opened formal proceedings against major platforms, and fines can reach up to 6% of global turnover.

#What regulators are focusing on - Deceptive design patterns that mislead users. - Transparency around ads and ranking systems. - Risk assessments and mitigation for AI features. - Evidence of monitoring and incident response.

#What product teams should do now 1. Audit UI flows that could be considered deceptive. 2. Document how AI recommendations are ranked and monitored. 3. Build a risk assessment workflow before launching AI features. 4. Keep evidence ready for regulators and procurement.

#Why it matters beyond big platforms - Buyers now expect transparency from all vendors. - Your AI feature can trigger new compliance questions in sales. - A clean audit report is now a competitive advantage.
