3 non-compliance decisions have been adopted under the Digital Services Act, totalling €870M. All were issued by the European Commission against designated services, and all sit well below the statutory ceiling.
| Service | Fine | Date | For |

| Temu | €200 million | 28 May 2026 | Illegal products, addictive design and recommender transparency |
| X | €120 million | 5 December 2025 | Deceptive design, advertising transparency and researcher data access |
| Total | €870M | across 3 decisions | |
The largest DSA penalty issued to date.
The second non-compliance fine under the DSA.
The first non-compliance decision adopted under the DSA.
Article 74 sets the ceiling at 6% of worldwide annual turnover in the preceding financial year — turnover, not profit, and group-wide, not the revenue of the designated service. A lower ceiling of 1% applies to supplying incorrect or misleading information, failing to reply, or refusing an inspection.
Separately, the Commission can impose periodic penalty payments of up to 5% of average daily worldwide turnover for every day a provider fails to comply with a decision. That mechanism is designed to compel behaviour rather than punish, and it is the real pressure behind the remediation deadlines attached to each decision.
Nothing issued so far approaches the ceiling. The pattern to date is a fine calibrated to the specific breaches found, paired with a deadline to submit a remedial plan — with the periodic penalty held in reserve if the plan does not arrive.
Fines are distinct from the Article 43 supervisory fee, which every designated provider pays annually regardless of compliance.
