"The Digital Services Act (DSA) Human Rights Alliance has, since its founding by EFF and Access Now in 2021, works to ensure that the European Union follows a human rights-based approach to platform governance by integrating a wide range of voices and perspectives to contextualise DSA enforcement and examining the DSA's effect on tech regulations around the world."
"The Principles for a Human Rights-Centred Application of the DSA: A Global Perspective, a report published this week by the Alliance, outlines steps the European Commission, as the main DSA enforcer, as well as national policymakers and regulators, should take to bring diverse groups to the table as a means of ensuring that the implementation of the DSA is grounded in human rights standards."
"The Principles also offer guidance for regulators outside the EU who look to the DSA as a reference framework and international bodies and global actors concerned with digital governance and the wider implications of the DSA. The Principles promote meaningful stakeholder engagement and emphasize the role of civil society organisations in providing expertise and acting as human rights watchdogs."
The DSA Human Rights Alliance, founded by EFF and Access Now in 2021, aims to secure a human rights-based approach to platform governance across the European Union. The Alliance emphasizes that DSA impact depends on interpretation and enforcement, not only statutory text. The Alliance produced recommendations to include civil society organisations and rights-defending stakeholders in the enforcement process. The Principles for a Human Rights-Centred Application of the DSA offer steps for the European Commission, national regulators, and non-EU authorities to involve diverse groups, anchor implementation in human rights standards, and promote meaningful stakeholder engagement and watchdog roles for civil society.
