The European Commission said in a statement it had decided to take the Czech Republic, Spain, Cyprus, Poland and Portugal to the Court of Justice of the European Union for failing to implement the Digital Services Act (DSA) effectively.
It said these countries had failed to designate or empower a national Digital Services Coordinator (DSC) and to lay down the rules on penalties applicable to infringements under the DSA.
The DSA is a landmark law that requires online companies to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content on their platforms.
