The Digital Services Act is EU regulation requiring platforms like Meta and TikTok to moderate harmful content and protect minors online — not a mass surveillance program or spyware deployment against citizens. The post conflates platform accountability mechanisms with state surveillance infrastructure, which are entirely different systems. EU officials have explicitly stated the focus is child protection, and recent reporting confirms the Commission is proposing age restrictions for minors on social media, not installing monitoring systems on phones. The underlying concern about corporate data collection and algorithmic manipulation is legitimate, but the DSA does not function as described here.
