DSA compliance handbook for Fediverse administrators
ILP Lab,
Sept 30, 2024
This handbook (25 page PDF) was written to help European social network hosts comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA) "aimed at increasing transparency and fundamental rights protection for social media platforms." It's of particular importance to people who host Fediverse instances (like Mastodon, say). "Server administrators hold primary responsibility for setting and enforcing content moderation policies specific to their instances, but not every server administrator has the tools or the know-how to do so." What's important is that "the DSA exempts online platform providers that qualify as micro or small enterprises from the extra obligations established by the DSA for online platforms." So mostly you won't need to worry about the DSA, unless you're running it as an enterprise, in which case it should not be surprising that you're regulated.
