My exact thoughts, Lilian! Orla and I are preparing a comment on the case, and this is what I am wondering about too.

please ping me when this is out, Graham, I want to give something like this to my students to read

How the Meaning of 'Publicly Accessible' Shapes Researcher Data Rights Under the DSA | TechPolicy.Press Researchers eager to begin work under DSA Article 40(12) may be deterred by uncertainty about what data counts as 'publicly accessible,' writes Daphne Keller.

My second post about researchers’ rights to scrape data under DSA Article 40.12 is up! This is dense with legal arguments for researchers to use if they get sued. Or to show their lawyers before that.

I'm pretty sure the CJEU in Russmedia just casually dismantled 80% of the DSA with one ill-considered judgment. As I read it, it substitutes in GDPR rules -- not notice and takedown rules -- for any platform where a user is likely to post content about people. 1/

A few weeks ago, I filed a Comment with @hutko.bsky.social and @mallory.techpolicy.social.ap.brid.gy in Bluesky’s TOS consultation. It urged them to build and maintain some key legal/content management infrastructure for distributed moderation on ATProto. 1/

DTSP has launched a new working group on DSA Article 21 out-of-court dispute settlement! Looking forward to engaging with a wide array of stakeholders as part of this effort.

This letter is important. It is a careful, detailed, scholarly, and accurate explanation of the elements of the DSA and EU law that prevent the DSA from being a "censorship" law in the first place. The list of EU expert signatories is stellar. @hutko.bsky.social @joanbarata.bsky.social

Very happy to be a signatory to this letter drafted by @hutko.bsky.social countering Trumpian misinformation on DSA. Please read thread. I also note Martin's kind offer to provide DSA training to US politicians at 1% cost 🤣

If this isn’t on your reading list, it absolutely should be. A remarkable document in many ways. (Remember, this is Council of Europe, not EU - so directly relevant to UK and the ECHR.)

Thank you, Oliver!

brilliant new research by my team's research assistant Ioan Paul Sipos, who compiled a list of third-party companies selling platforms DSA compliance-related services! a v useful resource for anyone interested in how the regulatory compliance sausage gets made

Have some good papers Lorenzo?

This is probably one for the DMA afficionad@s - Apple is suing the Commission

Pls send it my way when you do!

Someone should indeed! Ideally someone who is deep in the AI debate and a long-time expert on the liability exemptions? Looking at you Lilian!

new article in @europeanlawopen.bsky.social on the concept of systemic risks in the DSA. what does it mean that we think of all kinds of social issues linked to online platforms as 'risks' to be managed? find out this way: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Hate Speech and the European Court of Human Rights | Natalie Alkiviado This book argues that the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) should reconsider its approach to hate speech cases and develop a robust protection of freedom

I recent read this forthcoming book by @nataliealkiviadou.bsky.social taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1... It's a really forensic and detailed critique of the often unprincipled and illiberal caselaw of the European Court of Human Rights on hate speech. Essential reading if you're writing in the area.

Knight Institute Condemns Trump Administration’s Effort to “Subjugate Universities to Official Power.” See statements from @jameeljaffer.bsky.social & @alexabdo.bsky.social below:

ECtHR will soon decide on a case similar to the US TikTok ban. It concerns the blocking of Russian websites in Ukraine based on national security grounds. See our intervention: husovec.eu/wp-content/u... I sincerely hope that ECtHR is more thoughtful about freedom of expression than SCOTUS.

YouTube video by Digital Markets Research Hub Martin Husovec, LSE Law School: Digital Services Act through the Prism of the Digital Markets Act

First was an excellent discussion with @hutko.bsky.social on interpreting the DSA through the prism of the DMA at the Digital Markets Research Hub. Highly recommend www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKOY... (2/5)

Great news: the Hungarian attempt to force through EU mass surveillance of photos, text messages, etc. (#chatcontrol) failed today. It will certainly be resurrected in the new year though, so please support your local digital rights group in fighting for privacy. x.com/echo_pbreyer...

Thanks, TJ, for reminding me. There, I think, the interest is stronger than on platforms for individual pieces of content.

Useful, I agree. But also revolutionary. I don't think we have such mechanisms for viewers anywhere today, do we?

*content creators

Notifiers or affected contacted creators. Theoretically, based on the wording (though not leg. intent) other affected users, e.g. subscribers can also appeal but this is quite a broad reading. It is relevant when the content creator is not in the EU but subscribers are (e.g. Nigerian YouTuber hypo).

It would not work if the London area wasn't a place brimming with so many fantastic experts, like you ;)

The event will be recorded and you can also join via Zoom.
