DIGITAL SERVICES ACT: l'arma della UE per controllare l'informazione e #censurare il dissenso

Recital 8 of the proposed #EMFA #MediaFreedomAct contains very surprising statements, particularly the fact that VSPs may actually be media services, based on the role they play in the "content organisation".
If that was true, it would introduce a complete change from the current conceptual framework established by the eCommerce Directive, the case law of the ECJ and even the #DigitalServicesAct .
Funny thing, however, is that such conclusion does not have a clear consequence or reflect when we look into the articles of the proposal.
1/5 @Europarl_EN approved the #DigitalServicesAct with 539 votes in favour. EDRi welcomes DSA’s attempt to enable a real transformation of online advertising industry, away from cheating & spying on users & towards a safer, privacy-respecting ad ecosystem. edri.org/our-work/the-d…
2/5 “The DSA offers the much-needed tools to enforce platform accountability, but we will continue to call and work for regulatory alternatives to address the currently dominant surveillance business model,” says @edri's @sebabecks. edri.org/our-work/the-d…
3/5 This is the result of continuous advocacy & campaigning efforts by the @EDRi network & many partners to push for stronger #DigitalRights rules.
🎉BIG thanks to EDRi members & allies for their work that has brought us one step closer to inclusive & equitable online spaces.

Remember when they sneered at Geocities pages for being an unusable eyesore? True, they had some, uh, *idiosyncratic* design choices, but at least they reflected a real person's exuberant ideas about what looked and worked well. Today's web is an unusable eyesore *by design*. 1/

The first story is about the Digital Services Act, which is weak on the algorithmic recommender systems that promote hate. Facebook’s internal studies found that these systems amplify unlawful material at enormous scale, and pushed people toward extremism. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
When an algorithm is designed to probe your darkest instincts and serve you a diet of poison, it should not come preinstalled and switched on by default.
See image: the DSA could have switched them off by default. That would have instantly slowed the torrent of unlawful material.

Last Friday, the #DigitalServicesAct deal was agreed. The #DSA is a gamechanger for our lives, society & the internet. It's incredibly important for regulating digital services, in particular the very big online platforms. But what does the deal mean & what's in it? Long 🧵
Clear rules for illegal content: In future, orders by judicial and administrative authorities of the Member States against illegal content (Article 8) and orders for information (Article 9). #DigitalServicesAct
All online services must have a contact point or legal representative in the EU. This also applies to services like Telegram. No one can operate on the market in Europe without complying with European law. #DigitalServicesAct
My 2c on #ElonMusk #TwitterTakeover: If Musk implements his announcements, it means that Twitter can pack up here in Europe.
With free speech absolutism, he underestimates the consequences for our democracy and will clash with obligations under the EU's #DigitalServicesAct.
With free speech absolutism, he underestimates the consequences for our democracy and will clash with obligations under the EU's #DigitalServicesAct.
#ElonMusk will soon be confronted with the #DigitalServicesAct: content moderation in the EU must meet high standards & respect all fundamental rights. The #DSA contains many strict rules for the biggest platforms - and Twitter will very likely fall in the VLOPs category.
The #DigitalServicesAct means that Twitter has to invest in human content moderators, it has to comply with due diligence obligations, such as risk assessments of its service & algorithms for society. If he doesn't comply: there will be heavy fines!

Heute findet in Brüssel die entscheidende Verhandlungsrunde zum neuen #DigitalServicesAct statt. Die Europäische Union kann mit diesem Regelwerk Maßstäbe bei der Regulierung digitaler Plattformen setzen und gleichzeitig die Bürgerrechte und die Demokratie besser schützen 🧵. #DSA
Obwohl der DSA in 🇩🇪 das problematische Regime des NetzDG ablösen wird, dient er primär nicht der Verfolgung bereits begangener Rechtsverletzungen. Der DSA reduziert vielmehr die strukturelle Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass auf großen Plattformen Rechtsverletzungen begangen werden.
Dazu sollen den Plattformen bestimmte Sorgfalts- und Rechenschaftspflichten auferlegt werden. Ein förmlicheres Verfahren soll sicher stellen, dass Overblocking vermieden und die Grundrechte geschützt werden.
1/4 🚨Times of crisis must NOT be an excuse for undermining human rights!
In the closed-door #DigitalServicesAct negotiations, the @EU_Commission proposed a “crisis response mechanism” that would give itself the powers to unilaterally declare an EU-wide state of emergency.

Splošni pristop glede zakonodajnega predloga Akta o digitalnih storitvah (#DSA), ki so ga minuli teden sprejeli ministri za gospodarstvo na zasedanju Sveta za konkurenčnost (@EUCouncil | #COMPET), odraža neambicioznost članic EU pri zaščiti pravic evropskih državljanov na spletu.
Oba zakonodajna dokumenta, poleg #DSA še Akt o digitalnih trgih (#DMA), sta pomembna za enotni digitalni trg. Čeprav splošni pristop, ki ga je sprejel @EUCouncil, predstavlja določen napredek, pa še zdaleč ne zagotavlja ustrezne ravni varstva evropskih državljanov in potrošnikov.
Pripravo splošnega pristopa zaključuje tudi Odbor Evropskega parlamenta za notranji trg in varstvo potrošnikov (@EP_SingleMarket | #IMCO). S tem bo tlakovana pot, da Svet EU (@EUCouncil) in Evropski parlament (@Europarl_EN) prihodnje leto pripravita končno besedilo #DSA.

Erster Eindruck: Ampel hat keinen Bock auf #Urheberrecht. Nur Evaluierung, keine Gesetzesvorhaben im #Koalitionsvertrag, dabei bräuchten wir die dringend, zB beim #Zensurheberrecht. Ob Bibliotheken E-Books künftig wie physische Bücher verleihen dürfen, bleibt unklar. #BuchistBuch
Etwas besser ist der Abschnitt zu Forschung, wissenschaftsfreundliches #Urheberrecht klingt gut, aber es fehlen Details. Ich würde mir da zB wünschen: Ausweitung des Zweitveröffentlichungsrechts für Urheber*innen aller wissenschaftl Publikationen, unabhängig vom Finanzierungsweg!
Der medienpolitische Teil zu #DSA/#DMA liest sich schlimmstenfalls als Unterstützung der Idee, dass Plattformen nicht nur #Leistungsschutzrecht für Presseartikel zahlen sollen, sondern auch gezwungen werden, diese anzuzeigen. Das behindert Vorgehen gegen Desinformation! #LSR
The #EU regulation for online Platforms, the #DigitalServicesAct (#DSA), plans in the article 31 to allow « access to platforms data for vetted researchers ». Unpopular opinion: it is a bad idea lignes-de-cretes.org/access-to-plat…
Some approved experts would be allowed under certain condition, access to some inside data from the platforms.What can go wrong ? Let’s ask the annoying quetion : what kind of access, what is "data" and how do we plan to organise the "vetting"
"access" does not means a "right to publish". Data, used, stored, accessed or published are governed by General Data Protection Regulation. #GDPR is highly protective of users, but, platforms like to use GDPR to shut down researchers accessing their data (like @algorithmwatch)
Last year, the EU introduced the #DigitalServicesAct as part of a package of anti-monopoly measures aimed at US-based Big Tech. EU regulators could lead here, since - unlike US regulators - they don't have to worry about Big Tech as a source of national "soft power." 1/

"Researchers developed a method to deliver a Facebook ad campaign to just one person out of 1.5 billion" "based only on the user’s interests", so on personal data (despite authors claiming otherwise!) . Ultra- targeting. #GDPR #ePrivacy #DigitalServicesAct arxiv.org/pdf/2110.06636…
NEW: our case study, described today by @FT @madhumita29, shows that Facebook pushes anxiety-fuelling ads at a young mother worried about her toddler’s health, even after she disabled all health-related interests in ad settings.

Together with @sapiezynski we analysed over 2,000 ads she saw over 2 months. 1 in 5 was related to health, often in parenting context (terminally ill kids, fertility problems). Facebook attributed 21 health-related interests to her, e.g. oncology, genetic disorder, neoplasm. 2/6
It turns out that Facebook’s ad control tools are useless: even though the user had disabled all sensitive interests, the platform *continued* to push disturbing ads at her, and to infer *new* health-related traits (e.g. MRI, intensive care unit).
