Dear John,
The European Union’s (EU) new Digital Services Act (DSA) is a landmark law for platform responsibility that could foster a more democratic online experience. It could transform how we understand and address the harms that online platforms exacerbate, including disinformation and harassment.
Because of the outsized impact that EU regulation has globally, the act’s transparency measures can help civil society, policymakers, and tech companies across the world chart a path toward a more rights-centered and democratic online experience.
