| Summary: | The Digital Services Act (DSA) is the first supranational regulation aimed at improving the safety, transparency and accountability of online platforms. However, the DSA enforcement process is substantially opaque due to the scarcity of publicly available legal documents on methods, sources and results of the investigations carried out under its scope. This paper examines the transparency of the DSA enforcement process, focusing on the legal and political motivations of the progression from requests for information (RFIs) to the initiation of proceedings, using the European Commission’s investigation against X as a case study. |
