IFTAS is happy to announce the public availability of our DSA Guide for Decentralized Services – a practical guide for small and micro services that are subject to the EU’s Digital Services Act.

If your server has member accounts in the EU, or is publicly viewable in the EU, your service is most likely impacted by this regulation, even if you are not based or hosted in the EU.

Learn more about it here: https://about.iftas.org/2024/04/09/dsa-guide-for-the-fediverse/ .

@iftas Regarding, “If your service is accessible to users in the EU …”
I’m curious to know if the owner of a service like a #Mastodon instance outside the EU could reasonably claim that they are outside the scope of the #DigitalServicesAct by configuring the service to block of IP ranges known to originate from EU geographies.

@it Yes, prohibiting EU users by geolocating IP would be a valid reason to argue against needing to comply. There are of course numerous edge cases, and this is not legal advice, always consult a lawyer, but in general, EU law does not apply to services that don't operate there. See https://www.gdpreu.org/the-regulation/who-must-comply/ (GDPR, but similar concerns)
