Talk:Digital Services Act

Latest comment: 7 months ago by Vonkelonkel in topic Clarification of Terms

Title edit

This article is about two regulation proposals: the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Market act (DMA) and therefore it should be renamed "Digital package" and have two sections, one for each regulation proposal. See the general press release here, and the details about the DSA here and the DMA here. Etienneperrin (talk) 22:15, 15 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Should be two separate articles then? DMA article on Wikipedia doesn't exist today.--LS (talk) 10:39, 18 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Agree for 2 separate articles. The 2 regulations with different purposes. Already 2 items on wikidata. LaMèreVeille (talk) 04:28, 19 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, I believe the right thing to do would be to keep the DSA article up as is. Then, in future, potentially having a standalone DMA article as well (having two separate articles). Regardless, I believe the DSA article should stay up independently. James Tamim (talk) 21:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Clarification of Terms edit

Who gets to decide what is (a) illegal content, (b) transparent advertising and (c) disinformation? For instance, lets say a Twitter reports on some nefarious activity by some quasi-independent state agency engaged in manipulating social media posts. The said agency could declare such reports disinformation or illegal content. In short the DSA could become an instrument of censorship. Cases in point being the ‘Twitter Files’ and the Biden Laptop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.217.104 (talk) 22:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

A court would decide, and it is not appropriate to 'clarify' these terms on Wikipedia, as they are only as clear as you stated and they will only become more clear after they are tested in court. Vonkelonkel (talk) 01:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wrong category (regulation, not directive)? edit

Shouldn't this be in the category European Union regulations, and not in European Union directives? Susy 11 (talk) 14:15, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Is this page a joke? edit

Where are all the critiques of this law listed? The fear of new steps towards totalitarian centralism and similar ideas? 2A01:598:D008:928B:CAD:E569:9053:A150 (talk) 21:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

There are more than enough critiques listed under the Reactions section. Vonkelonkel (talk) 00:21, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
