While platforms must cover the costs of out-of-court dispute resolution, concerns arise over the independence of certified bodies like Appeals Centre Europe (ACE). Despite being accredited by the Irish regulator as independent, ACE has financial and structural ties to Meta, raising questions about its role in the moderation ecosystem. The article examines whether ACE’s certification aligns with the DSA’s independence requirements and what this means for the future of platform accountability in Europe.
