Abstract

Acting under the Digital Services Act (DSA), the European Commission has taken action against an e-commerce platform on suspicion that it offers illegal goods, specifically child-like sex dolls and weapons. In the light of a sale of illegal products in France and several public reports, the Commission suspects that the system used by this platform may pose a systemic risk to consumers across the European Union. The European Commission has also launched a formal investigation to examine whether Snapchat is violating the DSA by, i.a., disseminating information about a sale of illegal goods, such as drugs, e-cigarettes and alcohol.
This article examines what tools the Polish regulatory authorities have at their disposal to quickly and effectively protect consumers from illegal content, products and services online, based on the DSA implementation adopted by the parliament as well as other national regulations.
