The Digital Services Act Human Rights Alliance is warning the EU: bad decisions can lead to global consequences.

The Facebook Oversight Board today upheld the “deplatforming” of Donald Trump from Facebook and Instagram, finding Facebook’s decision to be necessary and proportionate. Access Now welcomes this decision.

Tech companies are exercising enormous power without taking sufficient responsibility to safeguard our rights, leaving us prey to abuse. The Digital Services Act is a chance for the EU to establish clear responsibilities for private actors and hold them to account, while ensuring our rights are protected.
