The Digital Services Act (DSA) establishes a wide regulatory framework applicable to intermediary services and particularly online platforms in the European Union (EU). A key feature of the DSA is the establishment of a series of obligations regarding content moderation by online platforms, as well as the recognition of procedural rights for users. This means in practice the need for platforms to establish and implement a series of tools, procedures, and practices in relation to the dissemination of illegal content, as well as the prevention of certain types of harm.
Article 28 DSA obliges, in its paragraph 1, providers of online platforms accessible to minors to put in place appropriate and proportionate measures to ensure a high level of privacy, safety, and security of minors on their service.
