Digital Services Act: Online Regulation Versus Freedom of Speech

On February 17, 2024, the Digital Services Act will go into effect, altering the way online platforms are held accountable for the content they host. Some see this legislative change as a necessary measure for safeguarding our online lives. Others see it as a potential hindrance to freedom of speech that has the unfortunate consequence of creating a less open internet.

In this first episode of Click to Trust’s debut three-episode story, hosts Carmo Braga da Costa (Head of Content at TrustLab), and Tom Siegel (Co-Founder and CEO of TrustLab) interview journalist and Everything in Moderation founder Ben Whitelaw and TrustLab’s own Benji Loney to discover what legislation like the Digital Services Act will mean for the future of the internet, and how the change it brings will affect more than just the big platforms like Facebook and X.
