Dr. John Evans:

There are some exemptions for microenterprises. The DSA itself is structured so that the biggest regulatory burden and the most onerous obligations are on the players that have the most influence in the system, the very large platforms. Dropping down to the next level, there are the platforms. Some of these can be quite big but there is a wide range of platforms out there.

As one moves down the tiers, there are lesser obligations. There is a proportionality of regulation built into the DSA. In due course, as we become established, we will make sure to put out some guidance on how people can best go about applying.
