„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

For Tech Policy Press, the Collaboratory's core team and @claesdevreese.bsky.social outline key provisions, changes from the draft version, and stakeholder responsibilities clarified by the recently adopted delegated act on data access.

Wanna know what changed between the Draft of the Delegated Act on Research Data Access in the #DSA? We've aligned the relevant passages and just published the comparison on our website: dsa40collaboratory.eu/dda-da-compa... Data & code used are available on our github: github.com/access-colla...

📢 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.

Platforms need to be researched on the risks they pose to society, like our civic discourse or our mental health. But the relationships between researchers, platforms and regulators are complicated. @lkseiling.bsky.social presenting their work on the #DSA at #WIConf2025

Want to request platform data under Art. 40 DSA? Our new #DSA40 Q&A explains 🇪🇺 the legal background, 📝 how to request data (public & non-public), and 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 next steps. Based on work by Julian Jaursch & @lorenzspreen.bsky.social —thank you for letting us build on it! dsa40collaboratory.eu/faq/

Ahead of the German Federal Elections🗳️, civil society orgs closely monitored digital election risks📈, assessing party strategies and platform compliance under the Digital Services Act (DSA) and AI Act. A week after the polls closed ⬇️

New Policy Paper: @lkseiling.bsky.social, @dscheykopp.bsky.social, & @ulrikeklinger.bsky.social provide feedback on the Delegated Regulation on Data Access outlined in the #EU Digital Services Act #DSA. ➡️ www.weizenbaum-institut.de/news/detail/... @dsa40collaboratory.bsky.social

Today, 3 members of our core team published a text on the draft delegated act today. They summarise the draft, point out what's good and provide a critique of why it falls short in providing a solid foundation for risk governance by not ensuring reliability & accessibility of non-public data access.

@alhohlfeld.bsky.social created this overview over the risk reports - feel free to add information if you know about some of the missing reports docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
