Digital Trust & Safety Partnership & eco's topDNS Initiative

invite you to join us for a joint webinar.

As online safety laws expand globally, hosting providers, domain registries, and registrars are increasingly expected to respond to online safety issues that are effective, proportionate, and legally defensible. Regulatory frameworks such as the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) establish important baseline obligations for hosting services, but they leave significant discretion in how organizations structure governance, enforcement, transparency, and continuous improvement—particularly at the infrastructure layer.

This webinar examines how DTSP’s Safe Framework (ISO/IEC 25389, the first international standard for online safety) functions as a common industry reference for providing trust and safety without breaking the Internet. The Safe Framework provides a structured, role-aware approach to trust and safety that aligns with existing legal requirements while extending beyond them to support operational maturity, consistency, and accountability across jurisdictions.

The session will explore:

• How Safe Framework commitments map to DSA obligations for hosting services, and where they intentionally go further.
• Why a framework-based approach helps infrastructure providers demonstrate due diligence across multiple regulatory regimes.
• How the Safe Framework supports proportionate mitigation without turning infrastructure providers into content moderators.
• The value of shared vocabulary and practices for internal coordination, external accountability, and regulatory dialogue.
• The webinar offers a practical discussion of how an internationally recognized framework can support and prepare organizations for evolving safety expectations globally.
