Policy Digests offer an overview of recent digital policy developments in Digital Policy Lab (DPL) member countries, including regulatory and non-regulatory initiatives aiming to combat online harms such as disinformation, hate speech, extremist or terrorist content.

Tech companies report their user numbers in the EU to be officially designated by the European Commission as very large online platforms (VLOPs) and very large online search engines (VLOSEs) under the Digital Services Act (DSA). EU institutions negotiate the Commission’s proposal for a European Media Freedom Act, which also deals with platform moderation of media content online. Ireland sets up a new media regulator responsible for enforcing DSA rules, the Coimisiún na Meán (Media Commission).
