What is the Digital Services Act?

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is legislation by the European Commission aimed at regulating a variety of digital services within the European Union (EU). The DSA is part of a broader package of EU regulations called the Digital Services Act Package, which also includes the Digital Markets Act (DMA). These acts seek to address various challenges associated with the digital economy, such as the dominance of large online platforms, online misinformation, and harmful content. Really at it's heart, the DSA establishes a regulatory framework for the liability of online platforms for the content they host and enforces obligations for platforms to take measures to address illegal content, such as hate speech, terrorist content, and counterfeit goods. The act emphasizes transparency in content moderation processes and provides mechanisms for user appeals in case of content removal or account suspension. Every online platform is required to establish a direct and efficient single point of contact for users to communicate electronically.
