  <abstract>Content moderation is at the core
of online platform activities. Many platforms allow
users to post content that may or may not comply
with the terms of service or that may violate national
laws. In order to avoid these violations, online platforms have started to monitor content both ex post
and ex ante. However, mistakes may still (frequently)
happen.
In order to allow users to effectively contest decisions
and compel platforms to restore content or accounts
after erroneous decisions, online platforms should
provide adequate due process mechanisms to appeal
and seek redress. The EU has addressed this point by
including specific provisions in the recently adopted Digital Services Act (DSA). In particular, Article 21 provides that complaints against online platforms can
also be resolved through out-of-court dispute settlement mechanisms provided by certified bodies.
After analysing the role of online platforms in content
moderation, this essay focuses on the types of dispute resolution mechanisms envisaged in the DSA.
Assessing, on the one hand, the proposed criteria for
effective out-of-court dispute settlement bodies according to the principles of fairness, accountability,
independence and transparency and, on the other
hand, the shortcomings that emerge from the certification mechanism defined in the DSA.</abstract>
