On Tuesday last week, the European Commission announced its first list of designated Very Large Online Platforms—or VLOPs—that will be subject to “content moderation” requirements and obligations to combat “disinformation” under the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). As VLOPs, the designated services will be required “to assess and mitigate their systemic risks and to provide robust content moderation tools.”
