In our previous article, we explored how Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects like F-Droid handle legal requests for user or developer data. In this post, we’re shifting focus to a broader and rapidly growing legal challenge: platform responsibility under laws like the UK’s Online Safety Act (OSA), the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA). These frameworks redefine accountability for online platforms including FOSS ecosystems.
