A jak by tak zrobić "cyberpręgierz" dla instytucji publicznych które wysyłają dane do #VLOP poprzez odwiedziny na swoich stronach? Może jakiś sposób oceny? Tak sobie wymyśliłem... #privacy

Let's embark today in the analysis of risks assessments reports that very large services (#VLOP Platforms and #VLOSE Search Engine) have to publish under the #DSA.
Here are some of my key takeaways!
The first thing that strikes me is the disparities in evidence, readability and explanations in the different reports. If, for instance, Google presents a clear and detailed methodology, other services can just dive into their own propaganda of mitigation measures.

Euroopan komission tutkinta kiinalaista pikamuotia myyvää SHEIN -verkkokauppaa kohtaan valmistui
EU vaatii SHEINia muuttamaan käytäntöjään rankasti, mm. valheelliset alennukset ja painostustaktiikat pitää lopettaa. Lisäksi yhtiön pitää noudattaa eurooppalaisia palautuskäytäntöjä.

Koalicja organizacji, badaczy i ekspertów People vs Big Tech przesłała Komisji Europejskiej analizę raportów #VLOP-ów z oceny ryzyka. Komisja pracuje obecnie przygotowuje raport podsumowujący, jakie ryzyka systemowe tworzą platformy.

Chcemy egzekwowania lepszej jakości obowiązkowych raportów, które składają platformy. VLOP-y muszą zrobić znacznie (znacznie!) więcej, żeby odbudować społeczne zaufanie i pokazać, że poważnie traktują swoje obowiązki w UE.
Whatsapp faces strictest EU platform rules, but not Telegram.
Meta’s messaging app WhatsApp will be the 26th online platform to face transparency requirements under the EU’s platform rules.
The platform has reached 46.8 million monthly average users in the EU, over the threshold of 45 million active users to be considered a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

For every #moderation decision that restricts or removes content or accounts, the #EU's "Digital Services Act" (#DSA) obliges #platforms to submit a "statement of reasons" (SoR) to a "DSA Transparency Database".
As of today, this affects 23 designated Very Large Online Platforms (#VLOPs).
(Don't get excited, SoRs by law must not contain any #PII – also, there is no "case number" that you could cross-reference to moderation decisions affecting your posts. It's more of a "Statistics Database" than a "Transparency Database").
A study that became available last week ("DSA Transparency Database: Auditing Self-reported Moderation Actions by Social Media.") looked at the database, with not so surprising findings:
»Our analyses reveal that (i) the platforms adhered only in part to the philosophy and structure of the database, (ii) the structure of the database is partially inadequate for the platforms’ reporting needs, (iii) the platforms exhibited substantial differences in their moderation actions, (iv) a remarkable fraction of the database data is inconsistent, (v) the platform #X (formerly #Twitter) presents the most inconsistencies.«

Czym jest #tiktok? Oto jest pytanie!
Dla niektórych platforma z kreatywnymi filmikami. Dla niektórych aplikacja do szpiegowania zachodu, a nawet robienia Europejkom i Europejczykom wody z mózgu. A może zwykły biznes?
Jakie zagrożenia związane z funkcjonowaniem platformy widzą jej właściciele? I co robią, żeby je ograniczać?
Niezależnie od tego, co myślicie, zajrzyjcie do naszej analizy sprawozdania TikToka z oceny systemowych ryzyk:
Aus gegebenem Anlass: ➡️ Nach dem #DSA ist die Zusammenarbeit von sehr großen #Onlineplattformen (#VLOP) mit #Faktencheck-Organisationen zwar nicht zwingend vorgeschrieben, allerdings sinkt ihr Sanktionsrisiko, wenn sie es in der 🇪🇺tun. (1/2)
[en] From Walls to Windows: Creating Transparency to Understand Filter Bubbles in Social Media
"... studying filter bubbles in social media ... has proven challenging, despite extensive #research in this area. In this work, we introduce SOAP (System for Observing and Analyzing Posts), a novel system designed to collect and analyze very large online platforms (VLOPs) data to study filter bubbles at scale."

"Bluesky has been flouting EU rules since February, according to European Commission spokesperson" - including failing to post an official count of users in the EU and to identify a legal representative.
