Article summary

The EU’s future Digital Services Act (DSA) can set the global standards in transparency, oversight and enforcement, Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen, has told MEPs. Haugen stated that the DSA has the potential to be a ‘global gold standard’ and inspire other countries to ‘pursue new rules that would safeguard our democracies’. However, she also warned that rules need to be strong on transparency, oversight and enforcement, otherwise ‘we will lose this once-in-a-generation opportunity to align the future of technology and democracy’.
