platform responsibility

Platform responsibility refers to the duty of online services and digital marketplaces to ensure a safe, fair, and lawful environment for their users. This includes monitoring and removing harmful content, protecting user data and privacy, preventing illegal activities, and enforcing community guidelines. While platforms are not typically responsible for every individual action taken by users, they must take reasonable steps to manage risks, respond to violations, and promote trust. Essentially, platform responsibility balances allowing freedom of expression with safeguarding users and the wider community from harm.
