Abstract
This article introduces the reader to the European Union's attempts at moderating the internet through its Digital Security Act (DSA) and the primary voices heard in that effort, including the trusted flaggers, the member states' digital services coordinator, and the platforms themselves.
The article explores the EU's high hopes for the DSA to eliminate harmful and illegal content and ensure transparency through its collective database of moderation actions.
The article describes the transparency database and details its principal inadequacies.
Finally, the article highlights the conflict between the U.S. and EU's views on moderation.
