Summary/Abstract: The aim of the European legislator by the adoption of the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act was to ensure effective action to protect and improve the functioning of the internal market so that intermediary service providers address illegal content, online information, and other named societal risks with due diligence requirements. The aim of this study is to present the new rules on the liability of intermediary service providers under the DSA. I would like to illustrate the wide-ranging regulation of the liability of intermediary service providers and the case law of the ECJ and Member States through the example of online platforms and online marketplaces selected from a wide range of intermediary services, through the light and the expectation of a high level of consumer protection.
