New features

We've added a series of optional new features aimed at publishers who are either based in the EU, or who deliberately target EU audiences, so that they can be compliant with the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA). The relevant part of the DSA comes into operation on 2/17/24.

The new DSA-related features can be activated by admins inside the 'Configure' menu by switching on the "DSA reporting and moderation experience."

Our DSA features include:

  • The ability for end users to report comments for containing illegal content, adding relevant context
  • The ability for moderators to review reports of illegal content in a specific tab in the moderation interface labeled "DSA Reports." Moderators can then add notes, mark reports as "In Review", download CSVs for legal review, review the commenter's prior behavior, and make a final decision
  • The ability for moderators to add specific reasons for comment rejection
  • The ability for end users to receive notifications related to their reports and rejected comments

The branch for this work is #4356
