What the Digital Services Act Means for Ed-Tech Providers

(From EdWeek) Last week, European policymakers  came to an agreement The Digital Services Act, a far-reaching new data privacy law that could have implications for U.S. ed-tech companies. The Act is meant to protect online users’ rights, filter illegal and harmful content and create new transparency for platform practices. It also bans targeted advertising toward certain categories of personal data, such as ethnicity, political views, and sexual orientation.  Although the new regulations apply to countries that belong to the European Union, experts say ed-tech companies in the U.S. need to pay attention to them, should future regulations take effect.
