EU head Ursula von der Leyen outlines her censorship agenda

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, has outlined plans for extensive regulations on social media platforms, focusing on the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA). These regulations aim to curb online misinformation, ensure user safety, and promote transparency in content moderation. Key provisions include algorithm transparency, stricter controls on targeted ads, and risk management obligations for platforms. The DSA also allows for hefty fines for non-compliance. There is a push for robust enforcement despite pressure from tech figures like Trump and Musk to weaken these rules.
