What does the Digital Services Act (DSA) mean for online advertising and adtech?

New blog post by Pieter Wolters and me.

Our most controversial claim is that ad networks and some other adtech companies must be considered ‘platforms’ in the sense of the DSA.

Hence, they must comply with the DSA’s general rules for platforms.

"In a recent series of experiments, we paid people a few dollars to #unfollow the most divisive political accounts on X. After a month, they reported feeling 23% less animosity towards other political groups. In fact, their experience was so positive that nearly half the people declined to refollow those hostile accounts … #Platforms could easily redesign their #algorithms to stop promoting the most outrageous voices and prioritise more representative or nuanced content." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jul/13/are-a-few-people-ruining-the-internet-for-the-rest-of-us

"As we become aware as a public we're putting pressure on our democratic institutions. We need new law, we need new regulatory regimes that interrupt and outlaw the key mechanisms of surveillance capitalism. Including the very principles of taking human experience unilaterally and turning it into data ... do we want a dominant capitalism that trades in behavioural futures?"
