The introduction of the Digital Services Act (DSA) by the European Union marks a fundamental step forward in the governance of social media platforms, by outlining content-moderation guidelines aimed at preventing disinformation and the systemic risks related to the business of polarisation. Taking a critical approach, this article discusses how the DSA regulatory framework addresses the issue of disinformation and the role of controversial influ…
Regulating Disinformation and Ideological Entrepreneurs
The introduction of the Digital Services Act (DSA) by the EU marks a fundamental step in the governance of social media platforms, by outlining content-moderation guidelines aimed at preventing disinformation and the systemic risks related to the “business of polarization” for the digital public sphere (Geese, 2023).

Thanks to computational analysis, we have collected data from Twitter over three years (2020, 2021, and 2022…
