We’re honoured to present at the “Résilience numérique européenne et géopolitique” event hosted by @chavalarias in Paris on Jan 20th, alongside speakers such as Nicolas Guillou (the 🇫🇷 ICC judge sanctioned by 🇺🇸), @robin and @HenriVerdier.
https://iscpif.fr/20-janvier-2026-geopolitique-et-resilience-numerique/
We will share our findings on regulation effects beyond strict compliance (such as market withdrawal), and how effective #PlatformRegulation is all about regulator ability to enforce, or “threat credibility”.

Zalo đang đối mặt với đề xuất cơ quan chức năng yêu cầu giải trình về thời hạn xử lý dữ liệu 45 ngày. Các chuyên gia cho rằng Luật Việt Nam đã có đủ cơ sở để xử lý nếu nền tảng này có dấu hiệu lạm dụng vị trí thống lĩnh thị trường.
Vấn đề đáng quan tâm: Zalo có đang dùng dữ liệu người dùng làm "tài sản" để buộc chuyển giao giá rẻ?

Ex-Facebook Safety Exec: Testifies to Congress about Online Harms to Teenagers on Social Media
Arturo Bejar a former senior leader in charge of safety and care at Facebook (2009–2015) and later a consultant for Instagram (2019–2021), testified before US Congress that social media companies misrepresent and ignore the widespread harm, particularly to children.
In his testimony, Bejar reported that internal research indicated that 13% of 13–15 year-old users self-reported receiving unwanted sexual advances within a single seven-day period, a level of abuse he called "likely the largest-scale sexual harassment of teens to have ever happened".
He explained that since social media companies are data-guided and treat problems that aren't measured as if they "don't exist," most user distress goes unaddressed.
Bejar advocates for regulation—mandating companies to track and publicly report concrete safety metrics—which will push social media platforms to genuinely prioritize user protection over engagement and growth.

Regulating the Platforms
At their #rp25 ession with Chan-Jo Jun & Dr Jessica Flint
Social media platforms act like shadow governments, deciding what we see. Meanwhile, the state has been reduced to just another user.
Right-wing extremist content that violates human dignity dominates platforms—because polarisation is profitable.
We don’t just need regulation like the Digital Services Act—we need to implement and enforce it. Fundamental rights must apply online just as offline.

⚡️ Study finds UK's online safety regime lacks fundamental regulatory capacity, giving platforms superior resources and posing risks of regulatory capture. To avert this, government must assert authority, ensuring rigorous oversight and enforcement of the regime. #PlatformRegulation #OnlineSafety https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1965384/articles/200049168/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
