Abstract

The article discusses the institutions introduced by the Digital Services Act which allow the European Commission and Digital Services Coordinators to access data held by very large online platform providers (VLOP) and very large online search engines (VLOSE). These duties can be divided into two groups. The first one is to provide access to the data that is necessary to monitor and assess DSA compliance, and the second one is to provide access to information on the operation of algorithmic systems. The article points out the problems of interpretation resulting from the construction of the regulations, in particular the possibility of using the acquis of competition law in the proceedings for gaining access to data conducted by the authorities, powers of the authorities to use the collected information in other proceedings, or relations to other legal acts, in particular the Artificial Intelligence Act.
