Ben jij klaar voor de Digital Services Act?

✍️In zijn nieuwste column in Twinkle Magazine legt ACM-collega Dries Cuijpers uit wanneer de DSA op jou als online retailer van toepassing is, wanneer de DSA jou kan helpen en wat je verder kunt merken van de DSA. Sinds februari 2025 is de ACM officieel bevoegd om te handhaven op deze wet. Dit doen we samen met andere toezichthouders in Europa en de Europese Commissie.

Dzieci same dostrzegają, że (za) dużo używają smartfonów i mediów społecznościowych. Jak skutecznie je w tym wesprzeć? Nie ma na to łatwej odpowiedzi - nie jest nią zakaz smartfonów w szkole, jeśli dzieci nie będą miały żadnej alternatywy.

Razem musi zadziałać państwo, szkoła, rodzice i cała społeczność. VLOP-y też nie mogą unikać odpowiedzialności (dlatego potrzebujemy szybkiego wdrożenia #DSA w PL i jego egzekwowania.

⚡ Meta’s toxic, profiling-based content feeds are affecting our lives and well-being – and today, @edri, @Freiheitsrechte, @bitsoffreedom, and Convocation Research + Design (CoRD Labs) filed a #DSA complaint against it.

Meta is violating the #DigitalServicesAct by making it hard for people to choose news feeds that are not based on #profiling.

We deserve to take back control over our own online experiences! ✊🏾

European Digital Rights (EDRi)Civil society files DSA complaint against Meta for toxic feeds - European Digital Rights (EDRi)Civil society organisations are filing a complaint against Meta for violating the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Hui, heute wird es heavy bei unserer #pnpDE Runde.

Wir stehen vor der Wahl einen Nekromanten zu töten, der mittels eines halb schiefgelaufenen Rituals in der Vergangenheit seine Lebenskraft an einen Freund von uns gebunden hat. Der Freund altert doppelt, der Nekromant nicht. Stirbt der Nekromant, könnte unser Freund sterben. Wir wissen es nicht..

Aber der Nekromant plant ein Massenritual, das aus einer ganzen Stadt Skelette machen kann. Die Sache ist dringend.

#EU skal rette seg etter regler for matsikkerhet og avgifter i det amerikanske markedet? Og EU må droppe personvernregler, og regulering av hatefulle og skadelige ytringer (den ventet jeg ville komme, og derfor haster det med å etablere alternative tjenester i Europa)

#MassiveProtests Against #Trump are Just The Beginning

A co-founder of #Indivisible lays out a vision for harnessing millions of protesters into an unstoppable pro-democracy movement

by Tim Dickerson, April 8, 2025

Excerpts: "The demonstrations were organized by a broad coalition — including groups that rose to prominence in the first Trump administration, like Indivisible, upstarts like the #50501Movement, as well as established grassroots groups like #MoveOn. The upswell of resistance surprised even seasoned organizers. Indivisible cofounder #EzraLevin texted Rolling Stone on Friday to predict 'one of the largest single-day protests in years' adding that the public response was “kind of shocking."

[...]

"This was a Big Tent — everybody from like #DSA to #MattYglesias and #NeverTrump Republicans were endorsing it. I had briefly gotten excited about calling this the 'Normal March.'

"Like the wacko, MAGA, right-wing crazies are not gonna be part of this. But if you’re a normal person, you would want to take part. Because obviously you oppose #Project2025, you oppose #DOGE and the richest man in the world coming after your #SocialSecurity.

"But I’m happy we went with '#HandsOff.' It served as a good rallying cry, because we all come to this for different reasons. Maybe we’re concerned about the #tariffs, maybe we’re concerned about #TransKids in our community being targeted, or the #immigrants being disappeared, or maybe we’re concerned about Social Security. We’ve all got something to fight back on."

About those echo chambers and filter bubbles...

Systematic review finds no clear cut evidence. It depends on the methods, too much research relies on the US, and specific platforms. And science needs better data to truly assess this, fx via the Digital Services Act

SpringerLinkA systematic review of echo chamber research: comparative analysis of conceptualizations, operationalizations, and varying outcomes - Journal of Computational Social ScienceThis systematic review synthesizes research on echo chambers and filter bubbles to explore the reasons behind dissent regarding their existence, antecedents, and effects. It provides a taxonomy of conceptualizations and operationalizations, analyzing how measurement approaches and contextual factors influence outcomes. The review of 129 studies identifies variations in measurement approaches, as well as regional, political, cultural, and platform-specific biases, as key factors contributing to the lack of consensus. Studies based on homophily and computational social science methods often support the echo chamber hypothesis, while research on content exposure and broader media environments, such as surveys, tends to challenge it. Group behavior, cultural influences, instant messaging platforms, and short video platforms remain underexplored. The strong geographic focus on the United States further highlights the need for studies in multi-party systems and regions beyond the Global North. Future research should prioritize cross-platform studies, continuous algorithmic audits, and investigations into the causal links between polarization, fragmentation, and echo chambers to advance the field. This review also provides recommendations for using the EU’s Digital Services Act to enhance research in this area and conduct studies outside the US in multi-party systems. By addressing these gaps, this review contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of echo chambers, their measurement, and their societal impacts.

„Każda forma państwowego nadzoru nad obiegiem informacji musi zostać obudowana silnymi gwarancjami. Mówiliśmy to kilka lat temu, gdy pojawił się pomysł ministra Ziobry dotyczący stworzenia Rady Wolności Słowa i czujemy się w obowiązku powiedzieć to także teraz”.

📣Byliśmy na wysłuchaniu ws. wdrożenia #DSA (aktu o usługach cyfrowych) w Polsce
Z niecierpliwością czekamy na dalsze kroki Ministerstwa Cyfryzacji – wdrożenie jest spóźnione już kolejny rok!

How the White House is Gaslighting the World About Europe’s Digital Laws
techpolicy.press/how-the-white

“EU/DSA has never canceled elections—despite far-right extremists and Musk continuously pushing this lie. The DSA doesn’t regulate content; it ensures #transparency so no platform — being Chinese, Singaporean, American or European — can manipulate algorithms.”, Thierry Breton, former EU commissioner

Tech Policy Press · How the White House is Gaslighting the World About Europe’s Digital Laws | TechPolicy.PressInvestigations are here to stay, and that is a state of affairs beyond the DSA, writes Catalina Goanta.

Understanding the EU's Digital Services Act Enforcement Against X

techpolicy.press/understanding

Well before other tech company owners voiced their DSA reservations, Musk consistently labeled the DSA as a "censorship tool.” (...)

“If X is allowed to get away with that strategy, it will put the whole regulatory framework into question from the start,” said Hoboken.

Tech Policy Press · Understanding the EU's Digital Services Act Enforcement Against X | TechPolicy.PressTech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir writes that EU action against X could further escalate the ongoing tension between the EU and the US.

🔴 EU to Fine Elon Musk's X Over DSA Breach

🔸 X faces over $1B fine for violating Digital Services Act rules on disinformation and illegal content.
🔸 EU says platform’s algorithms amplified far-right posts and failed to curb hate speech.
🔸 Settlement possible if X agrees to reforms, but Musk is likely to challenge the penalty.

It’s wonderful to witness organizations like the DSA and PSL uniting and putting ideological differences aside to oppose Trump, Musk, Democrats, Republicans and the US-Israel-funded genocide against Palestine. 🇵🇸

Mal ne Frage an die Allgemeinheit...

Es mehren sich Aussagen, dass die EU die amerikanischen Big-Tech Unternehmen digital besteuern, bzw. mittels DMA und DSA hart bestrafen sollen. So wie jetzt ja wohl X mit 1 Milliarde.

Wie wahrscheinlich ist es also, dass dieses Thema insgesamt eskaliert und Muckelbirne Trump per Geo-IP Blocking die Datenverbindungen zwischen EU und USA kappt?
