The Digital Services Act (DDG) is a German law that regulates the legal framework for digital services and online offerings. It replaces or complements previous regulations such as the Telemedia Act (TMG) and implements EU requirements into national law.

The DDG defines the obligations of providers of online services, including websites, online shops, platforms, and social media accounts of companies and influencers.

Key aspects include:

• Transparency requirements (legal notice)
• Liability rules for content
• Regulations on handling illegal content
• Protection of user rights and data

For influencers and companies, the DDG is particularly important as it sets clear rules for advertising disclosure, content responsibility, and user information.

The goal of the law is to create more safety, transparency, and trust in the digital environment.
