No todos los concerns se publican en blogs. Hay otros foros e interlocutores. Si Google estuviera de acuerdo con cómo se aplica *toda* la DSA no necesitaría, por ejemplo, iniciar acciones legales combatiendo cómo se interpretan algunas de sus obligaciones: eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/C/2025/2...

Que los códigos de conducta, los mecanismos de respuesta a las crisis o las evaluaciones de riegos sistémicos pueden suponer una injerencia desproporcionada en derechos fundamentales es una cuestión ya descrita constructivamente por doctrina muy autorizada:

Sinceramente, no veo tan incompatible compartir los objetivos generales de la DSA con advertir, en un contexto muy diferente a un mero informe de transparencia, de posibles riesgos derivados de interpretaciones maximalistas de algunas obligaciones de diligencia debida.

AI and Copyright: Hamburg Court of Appeal Rejects Appeal in LAION Case | Grünecker In the proceeding brought by a photographer against LAION e.V., the Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal and confirmed the first-instance judgment of the Regional Court of Hamburg.

I am not sure. The territorial scope of the remedy might be different depending on the cause of action. The platform may strategically elect to rely upon the DSA, which guarantees due process, a degree of transparency, or robust redress mechanisms for their users.

In fact, wasn't Russmedia a removal request primarily based on defamation and the protection of one's image rights?

Another operational challenge is determining the appropriate process for handling removal requests that allege multiple personality rights or causes of action, since these claims now appear to necessitate differing legal standards and follow different procedural requirements.

Lessons from Nepal on the High Cost of Controlling Online Expression | TechPolicy.Press The Nepalese government attempted to control the information ecosystem and lost control of the state itself, writes Samik Kharel.

After a sweeping social media ban, Nepal saw its bloodiest unrest in decades. What has happened in Nepal is a warning to other democracies to tread carefully with efforts to contain online expression, writes Samik Kharel.

Spain's fight against the illegal streaming of football matches took a bizarre turn last night, as it led to the blocking of websites for at least 49 local governments and the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), a leading cultural institution. This is unacceptable!

First AI fair use ruling, but probably of little predictive value for the big pending genAI cases, as it involved an AI developer that copied Westlaw headnotes to train a legal research model to directly compete with Westlaw (at least that's how the court describes it).

Happy #Lawyercat Anniversary for all who celebrate! It's been four years since the kitten appeared in my Zoom courtroom, and I released the 48 second video that made the whole world laugh. Here is the full video showing the big reveal at the end (in two parts because Blue sky). Enjoy!

So wikitok is pretty neat. TikTok infinite scroll and content exploration meets Wikipedia.

The bill wasn't notified to the EC, as required by Directive 2015/1535. Also, I think the obligation to channel rectification requests cannot be imposed on providers established in other Member States due to the ECD's country of origin principle, as interpreted by the CJEU in C-376/22 or C-662/22.

The new obligation for online platforms would be to put a mechanism for the "referral" of the rectification requests directed to users of special relevance and the "monitoring" of the process.

It allows for an alternative version of the facts to be disseminated as a "reply". In the event this right is denied by the publisher, a lawsuit can be filed and, ultimately, a judge can order the publication of the counter-narrative, but is not empowered to adjudicate the accuracy of either version

The main change in the bill is that it extends the right of rectification beyond traditional media outlets to include "users of special relevance of online platforms and equivalent services". Note this right does not serve to verify the accuracy of certain statements.

@gateklons.bsky.social I've just come across this discussion on the Spanish bill to update the law on rectification, which allows individuals to reply to published information that (i) refers to them and (ii) they believe is inaccurate and potentially harmful.

I think it's a balanced and sophisticated opinion. Reconciling the ECD with the GDPR is not easy. The AG and the EC have openly challenged some of the referring court's assumptions, regarding the categorization of an intermediary as a data controller, rather than just a processor, concerning UGC.
