Online Audiovisual Content, Video Sharing Platforms and Regulation under DSA and AVMSD

In light of recent changes of regulatory framework for provision of digital services within the EU, this paper analyses interplay and overlapping of Digital Services Act and Audiovisual Media Services Directive with regard to the regulation of online audiovisual content. Implementation of DSA raises several questions which need to be clarified in order to enhance the legal certainty of the enforcement of EUs online content regulation. Both the Regulation and the Directive include provisions that pertain to video sharing platforms and their content. The paper examines their scope and the differences, especially in relation to protection of users and their rights.
