Good thread on looming GDPR issues for Twitter in Europe. What about the EU's new Digital Services Act?
Quote Tweet
I know everyone’s watching Twitter’s various features & systems fall apart. It’s clear that the wheels are falling off.
But a quick reminder that you also need to keep an eye on what’s happening in the European regulatory space.
In short, Twitter’s in BIG, BIG trouble. 1/

While the GDPR built on long-established legal structures, the DSA is an experiment.

Can you regulate procedure before substance? In this blog post, I reflect on the question, with reference to the dispute resolution avenues within (and beyond) the Digital Services Act. Many thanks to Marlene Straub, and Ronan Fahy for hosting the piece.
Quote Tweet
The DSA adopts a 'procedure before substance' approach to content moderation, rather than setting forth any bright-line substantive rule on the limits of online freedom of expression.
@pietroortolani questions this procedural turn.

'The Possible Impacts of the #DSA on Content Regulation in African Countries': the #DSAObservatory symposium continues with an essay by on why the adoption of DSA-like rules in Africa requires context-specific approach to online harms in the region
Quote Tweet
If transplanted blindly into African contexts, the DSA might roll back local gains in human rights protection online.
@tomiwa_ilori argues that African countries should resist the 'Brussels Effect' & develop context-specific content regulation.

Excellent essay by Folkert Wilman of the European Commission (in personal capacity) on the DSA's approach to intermediary liability. It's the fifth in our series, and provides some very useful clarifications on the way in which the DSA addresses this crucial legal issue
Quote Tweet
Outshone by the DSA's many eye-catching novelties, its approach to intermediary liability has quietly developed.
FOLKERT WILMAN explores this noteworthy evolution, particularly towards 'active' intermediaries & 'good samaritans'.

Another great essay on access to justice and the implementation of the risk-based approach in the DSA, this one by , on the need to look at online harms and systemic risks intersectionally. Full of great links to relevant empirical research!
Quote Tweet
The DSA's one-size-fits-all due diligence approach can't protect those most acutely impacted by online gender based violence.
It can only succeed, argues @AshaOAllen @cdteu, if risk assessment & mitigation measures adopt an intersectional lens.

Great essay by putting the risk-based approach for big platforms and search engines in the DSA into context. It's clear that a lot of work and discussion will still needed to implement and enforce this new framework in practice.
Quote Tweet
On paper, the DSA takes a risk-based approach to design, functioning & use of digital services.
In practice, this approach isn't supported by adequate models to assess risk & impacts; digital context-specific methods are needed, per @mantelero.

Elon Musk's flirt with Twitter seriously questions EU disinformation policy’s reliance on platforms’ self- & co-regulatory measures.

As the DSA is being finalised, urgent scrutiny needed on "big tech’s hidden lobbying against DSA. It's unlikely that Brussels has previously seen campaigns on such a scale and practices so out of line with the requirements of a democratic, open society".
