    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.

    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.

    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?

      The Wikipedia page doesn’t sound too bad, but IANAL.
      The regulation linked from the wiki article only includes the word “age” three times and actually states:

      […] this prohibition should not lead the provider of the online platform to maintain, acquire or process more personal data than it already has in order to assess if the recipient of the service is a minor. Thus, this obligation should not incentivize providers of online platforms to collect the age of the recipient of the service prior to their use.

      Haven’t looked at it any more than that, but it sounds like it’s already been in effect for ~2 years?
