What are the penalties for non-compliance with the DSA?

Failure to comply with the DSA can result in severe consequences.

The European Commission and national regulators (Digital Services Coordinators) can issue fines of up to 6% of a company’s global annual turnover. For persistent or serious breaches, authorities can even restrict access to the EU market.
For example, a platform with €1 billion global turnover could face fines of up to €60 million for non-compliance. The law’s penalty structure is designed to ensure that fines are meaningful for both startups and multinational corporations.
Beyond financial penalties, reputational harm and loss of user trust are likely side effects of failing to comply.
