Content moderation regulations
Laws on online platforms and children's safety increasingly decide what a service must check, how fast it must act and what it must report. Each page here summarises one law or regulation for the teams that build and run platforms: who it covers, the duties and deadlines, the penalties, and what a moderation API can and cannot do about them. Pages name their sources and the date they were last reviewed. They are summaries, not legal advice.
