The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a EU Regulation aiming at updating the rules governing online platforms and services in Europe. There are new obligations for online platforms to tackle illegal content, increase transparency around content moderation, and provide redress mechanisms for users.
The act also introduces a new regulatory framework for online advertising. The DSA seeks to promote a safer and more transparent online environment while balancing the interests of platform providers, users, and society at large. Under the DSA, large online platforms have to follow a set of strict rules, including taking steps to prevent the spread of illegal content, removing harmful content promptly, providing greater transparency around content moderation decisions, and implementing effective complaint mechanisms. The act asks for measures to increase the accountability of online platforms and ensure a level playing field for businesses in the digital economy. DSA includes due-diligence obligations for certain intermediary services, notice-and-action procedures for illegal content, and the ability to challenge content moderation decisions. It seeks to improve users' safety online across the Union and protect their fundamental rights. |
