DSA Compliance
Meet your regulatory obligations with a transparent moderation platform.
The DSA already applies to you
The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) came into full effect in 2024. It requires services that host user content in the EU to act on notices of illegal content, explain each moderation decision and let users contest it. Fines can reach 6% of global annual turnover.
The UK Online Safety Act imposes similar obligations. Platforms must prove that they moderate, and the penalties for failing to do so are heavy.
Warning: Manual moderation teams struggle to keep up with DSA requirements. For most platforms, the realistic path is automated moderation with a full audit trail.
Complete Audit Trail
Every moderation action is logged with the content, the scores and the decision. You can export it for DSA transparency reports.
Data Sovereignty
Your data is hosted in the European Union and you can export it at any time, which matters for GDPR compliance. On-premise deployment is possible on request: let's talk.
Multi-Language Coverage
Multilingual, including the languages of your audiences: comments are analysed in their own language. Delicate cases are cross-checked by other AI models before a decision is applied.
How OpenModeration helps with DSA compliance
Article 16: Notice and Action
Content is flagged automatically and every flag is recorded in the audit trail. Users can be notified when their content is moderated.
Article 15: Transparency Reporting
You can export the total items moderated, the actions taken and the share of decisions reviewed by moderators, which is what DSA transparency reports need.
Article 17: Statement of Reasons
Every moderation decision comes with a written reason, and the audit log records whether it was taken automatically or by a moderator.
Article 20: Complaint System
Contested decisions are reviewed by our team, and you can step in at any moment. Every decision is logged for audit.
Article 34: Risk Assessment
Usage analytics and review data help assess moderation effectiveness and identify gaps in coverage.
Data Retention
You choose how long to keep input text and logs. Sensitive content is stored encrypted.
Written reasons make compliance provable
Many moderation tools are black boxes. If you can't see why a decision was made, it is hard to prove to a regulator that your moderation system works.
With OpenModeration, every decision comes with a written reason and is kept in a full audit trail of AI and human actions. Your compliance team can verify exactly how content is moderated, against your own rules.
