    Yet Trump has made combating censorship - particularly what he sees as the stifling of conservative voices…

    including hate speech and child sexual abuse material.

    To be very clear.

    What a disgusting pigfucking punk this piece of shit turned out to be. When he was a Senator he was “just” awful. Goddamn I hope The Fates have something cooking up for him.

    Lazy question as I haven’t followed the DSA closely and Wikipedia seems very surface level - does it do stupid privacy invasive crap and forget small sites exist like the UK’s Online Safety Act?

      I haven’t reviewed the whole thing, only small parts but it does look to handle online verification better (re: invasiveness).

      There is a section talking about a prototype app already released that is used to store age. It verifies off a couple different government docs (ID, bank details, upcoming Digital ID), but in the end only stores the user’s age (no name, ID, birth date, or other details). The fact page for the app claims that once age is established there is no further contact between the user and age verifier, but of course this is where I likely see the issue with any age verification tool. It’ll depend on whether the verification tool trashes age-related data once done with it, or if they retain a copy for whatever reasons.

      Proof of age is tied to the age required per country per activity, but this sounds far more reasonable than having a single company verify and manage age data (Persona in the US).

        prototype app

        Ahh yes, the app that coincidentally locks mobile OSes into the google ecosystem. 🤮

          It is a prototype.

          Their development roadmap specifically mentions Android AND iOS versions…

            Yes. But it excludes any sort of custom OS versions due to the way it’s implemented. So no Lineage, no Graphene.

    I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…

    If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?

    That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.

      IANAL but the DSA says nothing about requirements to inform reporters on a community moderation level. It is only concerned with illegal content and this cannot be simply flagged. It has to be a sufficiently substantiated explanation reported to the instance legal contact.

        Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.
