In a digital society, data is key to reaching our development goals, but access to data held by tech intermediaries is a challenge in Africa. Working within the @AC_Transparency we are building an alliance for meaningful data access. 💪

The Digital Services Act is a transparency machine. Platforms have to submit every 6 months a report describing their content moderation activities in the EU. The first reports are in and there’s a wealth of information in there. Thread

I’m at @intgovforum #IGF2023 - let’s chat! Come and ask me about the @AC_Transparency Transparency Initiatives Portal!

The EU's database is live! In theory it should include every Statement or Reasons sent by platforms explaining content moderation decisions. I've groused about it, but it's an amazingly ambitious effort and already pretty interesting. 1/
The Digital Service Act set clear rules to protect freedom of speech and healthy, well-informed public debate.
Today, we’re launching the DSA Transparency Database.
It will make all content moderation decisions by online platforms operating in the EU accessible ↓

Everyone wants to talk about "risk assessment" and there are a lot of open questions re: "what good looks like" in the DSA. It was a pleasure to work with @David_MSullivan & @dtspartnership to put together this insightful conversation w/ key stakeholders to begin unpacking this.
Unpacking “Systemic Risk” Under the EU’s Digital Service Act
David Sullivan (@David_MSullivan), ED of @dtspartnership and Jason Pielemeier (@pielemeier), ED of @theGNI, consider the details of the four categories of systemic risk specified in the DSA:

GNI is grateful for the opportunity to provide input on the draft delegated regulation on independent audits under the Digital Services Act (#DSA).

The points raised in our submission stem from lessons GNI has learned from multistakeholder “assessments” of the internal systems and processes used by ICT companies to identify & address risks to freedom of expression and privacy, as well as through @AC_Transparency.

Ahead of the #DSA implementation on designated social platforms/search engines, the @EU_Commission held a consultation period on data access for researchers. ISD has submitted key recommendations for consideration. Read them below 👇 isdglobal.org/press-releases…

Along with a lot of other thoughtful proposals, I submitted my comments to the European Commission today about how best to empower researchers with public data (Article 40.12 of the Digital Services Act).
I wanted to share what I recommended and highlight some others as well.

You heard it here first: the White House wants to implement Europe-style social media rules — focused on giving outsiders greater access to platform data — by the end of the year.
