What is the DSA?

The European Union Digital Services Act (DSA) imposes new obligations on a wide range of digital service providers. Requirements include:

  • Comprehensive transparency obligations about policies and enforcement processes
  • Robust mechanisms to engage law enforcement
  • Detailed user communication and appeals capabilities regarding enforcement decisions

WHAT ARE TRUST AND SAFETY LEADERS SAYING ABOUT THE DSA?

"We don't want to build out additional infrastructure to internally house audit trails. We've spent a lot of engineering time on this issue in the past for things like GDPR, only to see it not be used.

"It's incredibly difficult to predict how the DSA will actually affect our business. We are concerned that we will not have the engineering resources to make adjustments as DSA guidance evolves in the next 12-24 months."

"Our data is stored in so many different spreadsheets that managing repeat offenders is going to be hard. We are probably going to end up duplicating work and missing things, both at the same time."
