Muhtasari
Article 27 covers providers of online platforms using recommenders, but Article 19 generally excludes micro and small platform providers from Section 3; that section applies to a platform designated as a VLOP regardless of size. Article 38 separately requires VLOPs and VLOSEs using recommenders to provide a non-profiling option for each system.
Dive ya kina
The Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065) has a layered approach. Article 27 requires providers of online platforms using recommender systems to explain in plain, intelligible language the main parameters used and any options recipients can use to modify or influence them. The explanation must identify the most significant criteria for suggestions and their relative importance. If multiple ordering options exist, a selection control must be directly and easily accessible from the relevant interface section. Article 19 limits this duty’s scope. Micro and small enterprise providers of online platforms are generally excluded from Section 3, where Article 27 appears, except for Article 24(3). Section 3 does apply to a platform designated as a very large online platform (VLOP), regardless of whether its provider qualifies as micro or small. Do not describe Article 27 as covering every small platform without qualification. Article 38 is a separate additional duty: providers of VLOPs and very large online search engines (VLOSEs) that use recommenders must provide at least one option for each system that is not based on GDPR-defined profiling. That duty is not limited to VLOPs; it also names VLOSEs. The law does not prescribe a chronological feed or require public release of source code and model weights. A compliance review should map each product surface to the service provider and its legal designation, identify recommender systems, and check whether explanations and controls match deployed behavior. These core articles do not exhaust the DSA, and details depend on service scope and facts. Check current official material for the provider concerned; this guide is a plain-language overview, not legal advice.

The Future of EU Digital Services Act Rules for Recommender Systems
As services change their feeds and recommendation features, clear inventories of service scope, ranking parameters, and user controls will make DSA review easier. Commission guidance and enforcement practice may further clarify implementation, so providers should check current official material for their specific service and designation. The durable lesson is to explain the main ranking criteria in usable terms, provide controls where the regulation requires them, and keep the explanations aligned with the system actually operating. Providers should also retain implementation records so that future audits can trace a user-facing explanation to a particular recommender and version.
Utekelezaji wa Ulimwengu Halisi
An online platform explains in intelligible terms the principal criteria that determine why content is suggested, consistent with Article 27.
Where a platform offers several ranking options, it makes the preference control directly and easily reachable from the relevant interface section.
A service designated as a VLOP offers a non-profiling option for each of its recommender systems under Article 38.
A compliance reviewer compares terms-of-service explanations and available controls with the deployed interface, while treating this as an audit question rather than assuming the DSA mandates public source code.
