Abstract

The Digital Services Act is currently receiving significant attention not only from experts but also from the general public. As stated in Article 93 of the DSA, the regulation will be fully applicable from February 17, 2024. Member States were required to incorporate its provisions into their national legal systems and begin its practical implementation. The submitted paper addresses the issues associated with implementation of the Digital Services Act into the legal system of the Slovak Republic, which adopted DSA through amendment of the law, No. 264/2022 Coll., on media services. In the context of the Slovak Republic, we are currently witnessing the first decisions of the Council for Media Services, which imposed an obligation to remove illegal content. The objective of this paper is to examine the process of implementation and application of the Digital Services Act and analyse the relevant decisions of the Council for Media Services, focusing on comparison of the concept of illegal content under national Slovak law and European Union law.
