#EU#DSA#SocialMedia#Twitter: "Elon Musk’s social media platform X could face a raft of new European Union rules that place curbs on the behavior of some of the world’s largest technology firms, after the company told regulators it may meet criteria to fall under the scope of the bloc’s Digital Markets Act.
The DMA, set to take effect on Thursday, lays out a series of dos and don’ts for the likes of Alphabet Inc.’s Google Search, Apple’s Safari, Amazon.com Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.’s Facebook among others. It could also be applied to Musk’s X, as well as Booking Holdings Inc.’s accommodation platform and ByteDance Ltd., the European Commission said late Friday.
They seek to obtain #research access to internal #Microsoft data to check whether and how the company is making sure its not-so-intelligent #AI#Copilot isn't bullshitting around in dangerous ways.
Die Regierung in #Kanada will mit dem vorgeschlagenen "Online Harms Act" u.a. #CSAM und #bildbasierteGewalt eindämmen (letzteres definiert als "intimate content communicated without consent"). Plattformen sollen Risken ermitteln und mindern, Meldefunktionen stärken und Transparenzberichte liefern (klingt nach Digital Services Act, #DSA).
Gutes Fanwerk für DSA ist gar nicht mal selten. Gut gefallen hat mir beispielsweise das Krimiabenteuer "Rattenhatz", das außerdem gut mit der neuen Bornland-Spielhilfe kompatibel ist. #DSA#pnpde
What does the #mastodon brain trust think about #bluesky ?
How should both reconcile with themselves and with #DSA Digital Services Act passed by the #EU#EuropeanUnion
#EU#DSA#SocialMedia#TrustedFlaggers#ContentModeration: "One of the most-publicized innovations brought about by the Digital Services Act (DSA or Regulation) is the ‘institutionalization’ of a regime emerged and consolidated for a decade already through voluntary programs introduced by the major online platforms: trusted flaggers. This blogpost provides an overview of the relevant provisions, procedures, and actors. It argues that, ultimately, the DSA’s much-hailed trusted flagger regime is unlikely to have groundbreaking effects on content moderation in Europe."
#EU#DSA#SocialMedia#TikTok#MentalHealth: "Responding to the European Commission’s decision to investigate TikTok over concerns that the online social media platform may be failing to comply with the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA) by not doing enough to protect young users , Damini Satija, Programme Director at Amnesty Tech, said:
“We welcome the European Commission’s decision to investigate TikTok over the possibility that it breached the DSA by failing to protect children and young people. The mental health consequences being inflicted on children and young people by the social media giant remain a longstanding concern."
#EU#DSA#BigTech#Antitrust#Competition: "Despite all the shortcomings touched upon above, EDRi holds that the DSA is a positive step forward. That is because, while not ambitious enough, it has — maybe for the first time in Europe — enabled politicians and the public to debate and understand the harms inflicted by the data-driven advertising models that many of the largest tech firms would rather keep hidden from public view.
Now it is known that Google is not a search engine provider and Facebook never was a social media company. They are global commercial surveillance corporations.
The biggest contribution of all debates around the DSA is that next time around, lawmakers and the public are already aware."
Reste à voir comment (et surtout si) ce sera appliqué sur les instances #PeerTube, #Mastodon, les blogs perso qui acceptent les commentaires, les forums, les sites communautaires comme HN, Lobsters ou #LinuxFR, #GitHub et autres instances #GitLab, etc.
From now on, the Digital Services Act becomes enforceable on all online platforms in the EU.
The #DSA empowers users, EU countries and platforms to:
⏩ Counter illegal content, goods, and services
⏩ Ban sensitive data for targeted ads
⏩ Protect minors and their personal data
⏩ Inform users about ads and their sponsors
⏩ And more
R to @EU_Commission: The #DSA ensures the fundamental EU values are protected by:
🔸 Countering illegal content, goods, and services
🔹 Banning sensitive data for targeted ads
🔸 Protecting minors and their personal data
🔹 Providing transparency on ads
🔸 Ensuring effective content moderation
🔹 And more
