The EU’s Digital Services Regulation (DSA) has brought new rights and protections to consumers and companies in relation to global digital giants. Since February, individuals have the right to know why their account or content was closed without reason and can make a complaint if the issue is not resolved with the platform. Platforms now have greater responsibilities to control illegal or harmful content, protect basic rights, and ensure the safety of minors. Consumers and companies can report violations directly to the platform or authorities if necessary.
