Argentina
Argentina has no DSA-style platform-transparency or accountability law in force, relying on the 2000 data-protection statute and consumer law, while a 2025-2026 wave of child-safety and algorithm bills remains unpassed.

Transparency
Public ad libraryDSA Art. 39
No DSA Art. 39-type ad-repository obligation; regime is general data-protection plus consumer law.
Source ↗Transparency reportsDSA Art. 15 / 24 / 42
No content-moderation transparency-report obligation; no bill proposes one.
Source ↗Researcher data accessDSA Art. 40
No vetted-researcher data-access mandate (no DSA Art. 40 analogue).

Accountability
Systemic risk assessmentDSA Art. 34–35
No in-force risk-assessment duty; proposed in the Brügge bill (impact evaluations for products aimed at minors).
Source ↗Independent auditDSA Art. 37
No independent external-audit mandate (no DSA Art. 37 analogue).
Source ↗Algorithmic transparencyDSA Art. 27 / 38
No in-force recommender-transparency duty; the Brügge bill would ban addictive recommenders for minors, but it is only proposed.
Source ↗Regulator + penaltiesDSA Art. 49–52, 74
The AAIP is a real data-protection regulator with fining power, but only for data-protection breaches (Ley 25.326), not platform-governance; statutory fines are trivially small in real terms.

Child protection
No profiling ads to minorsDSA Art. 26(3) / 28
No in-force ban on profiling ads to minors; proposed in the Brügge and data-protection reform bills.

No in-force age-verification mandate; proposed in bill 1114-D-2026 (accounts barred under 13).
Source ↗Child-safety duty of careDSA Art. 28
No in-force platform child-safety duty; grooming is a criminal offence against offenders, not a platform duty. Only proposed (Brügge, 1114-D-2026).

On the horizon
What's being debated
Bill on addictive algorithms / protection of minors (Brügge)
Bans addictive design aimed at minors and requires data-protection impact assessments, a local legal representative for foreign firms and audits/sanctions by the data-protection authority, but is centred on child protection.
Latest: Presented in June 2026, part of a wave of Argentine bills targeting addictive platform design and minors. source ↗
