Couldn’t have been happier about the outcome of our #ica26 Causal Turn Panel. The panelists highlighted the needs to move forward: 1. build theories on time and sequence in media effects 2. learn to control for confounding factors 3. develop analytical approaches like sequences analysis

Happening now! @theoaraujo.bsky.social opening the Causal Turn in Digital Trace Data research at #ica26

Skip the lunch forfinding out how to establish more causal research with digital trace data. Great #ica26 panel with @theoaraujo.bsky.social @antmandan.bsky.social @hyunjinsong.bsky.social Isabel Villanueva and Yangliu Fan! Happening at 12.00 in Nerina CTICC2 See you there.

👻 Keynote: Prof. Dr. Jasper Dag Tjaden 🗣️ Panel: Future of data donation research (Omnibus Regulation & governance) Organized by @dscheykopp.bsky.social, @atmayer.bsky.social, Quentin Buckhold, and me.

It’s not a privilege, it’s a researchers right! #DSA40 @lkseiling.bsky.social and I summarize what the European Commission decision in their case against X (I feel we should follow John Oliver and from now on call it Twitter again) means for researchers right to platform data access [in German]

if you missed @dscheykopp.bsky.social present on the Digital Services Act in the @nfdi.de Social Media - Show and Tell Series, you can now read our blog post about his talk here: textplus.hypotheses.org/15885 #dsa #article40dsa #digitalservicesact

🚨 Content alert 🚨 New recording published! ➡️Brave New Data Access World: What the Digital Services Act (DSA) Means for Researcher Access to Digital Platforms 👤 @dscheykopp.bsky.social (Weizenbaum Institute Berlin) 📺 youtu.be/8gf2mjIs5j8

Thanks @ddc-sdu.bsky.social for joining!

Check out our new Mobile Research Resources Section @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social! You can publish software, data, methods, or any resource that will support the Mobile CommUnity to do research.

🕑 Join us *today* at 13:45 CEST for the talk 'Brave New Data Access World: What the Digital Services Act (DSA) Means for Researcher Access to Digital Platforms' by @dscheykopp.bsky.social (Weizenbaum Institute Berlin) ⬇️ Zoom link and details below

This is important for all platform researchers! Please read and sign the OPEN LETTER to the EU Commission and share widely in your networks!

🗞️ At the Weizenbaum Institute today: workshop “What is News? Platforms, Audiences & Algorithms.” With colleagues from the @reutersinstitute.bsky.social, we’re exploring how societies get informed in the digital age. Plus a hybrid lunch talk on how changing ideas of “news” may reshape journalism.

On last day of #aoir2025 @lionw.bsky.social presents our @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social work on TikTok data donation from the 2025 German Federal Election - only 5% of content was political and the Left party could capitalize most in reaching voters of other parties with their content on TT.

This was a great roundtable, lots of important questions from the audience, giving the impression that data donations will be around for longer, if we get it right (based on comments from the audience on postcards) #aoir2025

How often is too often in ESM research? 🚨New study out! We compared 6 beeps/day vs. 12 beeps in 2 h bursts. Both work, but burst designs show more fatigue + attrition — still useful if high temporal precision matters. App onboarding, though? Big bias alert. 📱 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

#datadonationsymposium2025 @lmumuenchen.bsky.social @dscheykopp.bsky.social @lboeschoten.bsky.social @antmandan.bsky.social On the myth of the need for representative samples, public partnership recruiting, the value of specialty samples, and a value proposition to the public as an incentive.

#DigitalNewsDynamics research group present #datadonationsymposium2025 @lkseiling.bsky.social and Quentin Bukold on an Ontology for digital trace data, me on data donation behavior, and @dscheykopp.bsky.social on our experience with #deinfeeddeinewahl.

Come work with us 🚨 We are looking for a #postdoc in our @aimediademlab.bsky.social lab. Profile: Comm sci / poli sci/ computational social science. Great team, timely topocs, fabulous city, good conditions. DL 🗓️ November 1 werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies...

Happening now @dsa40collaboratory.bsky.social @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social

Mit dem Digital Services Act versucht die EU ihre Bürger*innen vor den Risiken digitaler Plattformen zu schützen. Wir sprachen mit LK Seiling, Co-Autor unseres neusten Policy Papers, wie das inmitten geopolitischer Spannungen mit den USA funktionieren kann. #DSA40 Zum Interview 👉 buff.ly/5zISV6z

Our new policy paper on #DSA40 explains the detailed processes of data access (with updates from Delegated Act), describes still existing bottlenecks, and discusses the challenges of legal right vs. platform resistance and is asking all stakeholders to act in good faith and to deliver.

„Wer beim Forschungsdatenzugang jetzt liefern muss” – @lkseiling.bsky.social, @dscheykopp.bsky.social, @claesdevreese.bsky.social & @ulrikeklinger.bsky.social heute im @tspbackground.bsky.social: 🔗 t1p.de/zf6pa ⬅️ #dsa @dsa40collaboratory.bsky.social

In this piece for Tech Policy Press, @dscheykopp.bsky.social , @ulrikeklinger.bsky.social, @claesdevreese.bsky.social and I argue that it's time for regulators, researchers, and platforms to fulfil their roles and standards set by the delegated act on data access.

📢 Big news for platform researchers across Europe and beyond: Today, the @ec.europa.eu adopted the Delegated Act for Article 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) – a long-anticipated milestone enabling researchers to request access to non-public platform data under Article 40.4.

Do Alternative News users also use legacy media? Yes they do, shows a study by @gongbaobao.bsky.social @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social but a small fraction - around 1.3% of the German population - live in alternative news enclaves
