Abstract

This work analyzes the most relevant aspects of EU Regulation 2022/2065 relating to a single market for digital services, placing special emphasis on the due diligence system linked to online platforms and the main obligations that apply to them. Similarly and related to the above, the liability regime of intermediary service providers has been analyzed. To this end, multiple jurisprudential references have been used that have helped configure the criteria in force today through this Regulation. On the other hand, a comparative exercise has been carried out between the legislative direction of the US and the EU regarding the responsibility of online platforms, which allows us to identify the different degree of demand regarding the obligations and responsibility of such service providers.
