The Digital Services Act

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a European regulation aimed at making online platforms like social media and e-commerce sites safer and more transparent. It sets rules for how these platforms must handle illegal content, misinformation, and harmful products. The DSA also requires companies to be clearer about their content moderation practices, protect users’ rights, and ensure accountability. Its goal is to create a safer digital environment while respecting free expression, fostering trust, and ensuring that large online services act responsibly and transparently towards their users and society.
