Dr. John Evans:
The DSA has a general provision that illegal content online can be taken down. Individuals such as me or the Deputy or trustflaggers as they are called under the Act can call out illegal content to the platforms directly. The platforms will then have to assess that content and take it down. For example, some of the extremist content might fall under the category of illegal content and would be covered by that provision.
