The Board agreed to launch a coordinated action at EU level to reinforce the protection of minors from pornographic content. An engaging exchange of views followed, leading to the endorsement of a statement by the Board and the Commission, underscoring the Board's commitment to safeguarding young audiences in the digital realm under the Digital Services Act (DSA) and its full support to Commission’s investigations.
Further, the Commission summarised its preliminary findings, which were communicated to TikTok on 15 May 2025. This formed the basis for a discussion about the Board's perspectives on these findings, emphasising the continued focus on regulatory oversight and compliance in digital platforms.
The next Board meeting will take place on 27 June 2025, in Brussels. Until then, the work of the Board will continue at technical level in the context of its different Working Groups.
Background
The DSA fully entered into application as of 17 of February 2024, and now applies to all online intermediaries which offer services to recipients that have their place of establishment or are located in the EU. Member States had to appoint and empower, by that date, their Digital Services Coordinators, which are independent regulators that work with each other and the Commission to ensure the correct application of the DSA in their Member States.
The European Board for Digital Services is an independent advisory group that will ensure that the DSA is applied consistently across the EU and will be consulted on the enforcement of the DSA.
