How Veriafy Helps You Achieve DSA Compliance

The Digital Services Act (DSA) has fundamentally changed how platforms must approach content moderation in the European Union. Here's how Veriafy helps you achieve compliance.

Understanding DSA Requirements

The DSA requires platforms to:

1. **Implement effective content moderation** - Detect and remove illegal content promptly
2. **Maintain transparency** - Report on moderation decisions and provide user appeals
3. **Protect user privacy** - Process only necessary data for moderation purposes
4. **Provide audit trails** - Document moderation decisions for regulatory review

The Privacy Challenge

Traditional content moderation systems require full access to user content, creating tension with GDPR and user privacy expectations. This is where Veriafy's approach is unique.

Veriafy's Patented Solution

Our semantic hashing technology enables content classification without accessing the original content:

1. **Vector Extraction**: Content is transformed into a Veriafy Vector locally
2. **Classification**: Only the vector is sent for classification
3. **Decision**: Moderation decision returned without content exposure

This approach is protected by international patents and represents the only solution on the market that achieves full DSA compliance while maintaining GDPR privacy standards.

Implementation Guide

Step 1: Integrate Veriafy

client = Veriafy(api_key="your-key")

def moderate_upload(file_path): result = client.classify(file_path, model="veriafy/content-safety") return { "vector_id": result.vector_id, "decision": result.action, "confidence": result.confidence, "timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat() } ```

Step 2: Configure Audit Logging

Veriafy automatically maintains audit logs for all classification decisions, including:

• •Vector ID (unique, privacy-preserving identifier)
• •Classification result and confidence
• •Model version used
• •Processing timestamp

Step 3: Set Up Appeals Process

Use vector IDs to enable user appeals without storing original content:

def handle_appeal(vector_id, user_explanation):
    # Re-classify with human review flag
    result = client.appeal(vector_id, context=user_explanation)
    return result.human_review_required
