How does one approach digital product development that prioritizes user safety? On April 23, @davidsullivan.bsky.social will participate in an @alltechishuman.bsky.social panel titled "Safety by Design: A Proactive Approach to Online Safety." More details: alltechishuman.org/all-tech-is-...

We're pleased to share that DTSP's Best Practices have been translated to Spanish and Portuguese. These translations aim to expand accessibility and engagement among Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities. dtspartnership.org/best-practic...

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) is home to a variety of popular digital products where users regularly interact with each other within and across borders. Next week, @davidsullivan.bsky.social and @farzdusa.bsky.social will participate in #RightsCon2025 to discuss DTSP Best Practices role in APAC.

🎮 The gaming experience is evolving, as player interactions expand beyond the game itself to different channels. @davidsullivan.bsky.social's article for the Digital Thriving Playbook explores how developers can use the DTSP Best Practices to enhance player safety.

"Without greater understanding of what a good risk assessment entails, and where shortcomings amount to a breach of the DSA, the EU’s regulatory capabilities will be vulnerable to legal challenge," writes @davidsullivan.bsky.social.

In @lawfare.bsky.social , @davidsullivan.bsky.social examines risk assessments mandated by the EU’s DSA, their insights into platform safety practices, and the implications for enforcing regulations for a safer internet. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/syst...

It’s hard to keep up with all the risk assessments, audits, and other major new info dumps from platforms about their DSA compliance. Here’s a great overview from @davidsullivan.bsky.social of where we stand, what is noteworthy so far, and what should happen next.
