The Digital Services Act: What Is It?
The European Commission’s main goals with the DSA are:
1. To provide better protection for consumers and their fundamental rights when online.
2. To encourage growth, innovation, and competitiveness in the single market.
3. To create a strong accountability and transparency template for online platforms.
All in all, the DSA is a new legislation that will hold online platforms, including social media networks, search engines, and marketplaces accountable for patrolling site content.
Finally
>The DSA could affect many types of businesses in several ways. For example, it could impose new obligations on online platforms to remove illegal or harmful content from their platforms, or to take measures to prevent the spread of such content.
What does this mean?
Because it looks to me like it could be abused to implement censorship?
Illegal content like what, like saying the government or a politician is corrupt with the bullshit “hate speech law?
Harmful content like what, ad harmful to who, to the government and to the trust inn it, like content talking about corruption?
What is the EU really trying to do here?
Can we have an opinion from EFF please?
This sounds an awful lot like what GDPR was supposed to accomplish.
