Impactful Policy Frameworks
Digital Services Act (DSA) 2024
The DSA aims to create a safer digital space where users' fundamental rights are protected, by setting clear responsibilities for digital services, especially concerning illegal content, transparency of algorithms, and advertising practices.
The DSA will significantly increase n-tv.de's obligations regarding content moderation, algorithmic transparency, and targeted advertising, requiring robust systems to comply and potentially affecting current ad-supported revenue models.
Data Governance Act (DGA) 2022
The DGA facilitates data sharing across sectors and EU countries, creating a framework for data intermediaries and promoting data altruism, aiming to unlock the potential of data for societal benefit.
While the DGA focuses on data sharing, it underscores the increasing regulatory scrutiny on data handling, potentially impacting how n-tv.de manages and monetizes user data, especially in its affiliate marketing segments.
Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) - Provisional Agreement 2023
The proposed AI Act aims to regulate AI systems based on their potential risk to users, with strict requirements for high-risk AI applications, transparency obligations, and rules on prohibited AI practices.
The AI Act will impose new compliance requirements on n-tv.de if it deploys AI for content generation or personalization, especially concerning transparency, data quality, and human oversight for high-risk applications, potentially increasing development costs and regulatory burden.
