The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a European Union regulation that aims to create a safer and more transparent online environment. It sets new rules for digital platforms, such as social media and online marketplaces, requiring them to take stronger action against illegal content, disinformation, and online harms. The DSA places special emphasis on protecting minors and ensuring users have more control over their data and online experiences. It also increases accountability for large platforms by demanding greater transparency in their operations and content moderation practices.
