The Metamorphosis Foundation for Internet and Society is organizing a workshop titled “What is the EU Digital Services Act and why is it important?” intended for civil society organizations and media outlets, which will be held on January 16, 2025 (Thursday) , starting at 10 am, at Public Room (Kids Room).
This workshop aims to raise awareness among civil society organizations and media outlets in North Macedonia of the importance of harmonizing Macedonian legislation with the European Union’s Digital Services Act, which aims to prevent illegal and harmful activities online, as well as the spread of disinformation, while ensuring user safety, protecting fundamental rights, and creating a fair and open environment for online platforms.
The workshop will also present the findings from the analysis of North Macedonia’s regulatory and institutional readiness for alignment with the EU Digital Services Act.
