I've been ignoring the EU DSA (Digital Services Act). Well, I can get away with that (I think), because I have no presence in the EU.
I hadn't noticed that ALL online platforms in the EU, regardless of size, are required to comply by 2024-02-17. I don't know exactly which parts of the DSA they need to comply with. But this snippet makes it sound like tiny instances are going to have a lot of obligations.
TrustCon = conference currently taking place in San Francisco, "dedicated to trust and safety professionals who are responsible for the challenging work of keeping our platforms and communities safe."
IFTAS = Independent Federated Trust and Safety, "a non-profit team organizing to help foster and preserve inclusive, civil discourse for the common good."
POC = Person Of Contact (I think).
Great
#TrustCon23 session on the EU's DSA, IFTAS is working to support servers with compliance. Full guidance coming, but for now important to note ActivityPub services must register a POC, comply with requirements to remove illegal content, publish clear and readable terms & conditions, and appoint legal representative within EU. IFTAS will be working to provide a "registered agent" service to help servers comply with these requirements. We are also working on support for Articles 14 and 15.
