⚖️ When harmful content stays online, what does that reveal about the implementation of the Digital Services Act? On 3 June in Brussels, DAHRD is bringing together policymakers, academics, civil society representatives, and digital governance experts for a discussion on platform accountability, multilingual moderation, and enforcement gaps under the DSA. 📌 From Meme to Mob: How Digital Hate Becomes a Systemic Risk The discussion will focus on DAHRD’s findings based on cases reviewed through the Appeals Centre Europe mechanism established under the DSA framework. 🔎 Findings from the report: • 49 posts analysed • 51% of moderation decisions later overturned • Harmful content remained online for a cumulative total of 4,637 days • Posts stayed online for an average of 166 days before removal The panel will explore how multilingual moderation challenges, cross-border harms, and weak enforcement continue to test existing accountability and mitigation mechanisms within Europe’s digital information space. 🎤 Speakers: • Thomas Hughes — CEO of Appeals Centre Europe • Dr. Ritumbra Manuvie — University College Groningen & DAHRD • Lynn Boylan — Member of the European Parliament (The Left Group) 📍 Press Club Brussels Europe 📅 3 June 2026 | 🕓 16:00–18:00 (Brussels time)
