**What it does not test.** This does not establish that the platforms' ownership, hosting or underlying infrastructure will move into European hands.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. DSA designation triggers EU-wide audits; platforms' ownership/hosting/infrastructure unchanged. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
