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.

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.

The Fundamental Law of Disinformation Covariance: We assert that disinformation is not an independent variable, but a dependent function of event saliency

In the wake of the tragedy in Australia today, someone took the time to create a fake news website and made up a white “IT professional” named "Edward Crabtree" and claimed he stopped the Bondi shooting.

The real hero is a man named Ahmed Al Ahmed. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

€40m of the fine was specifically for data access breaches affecting researchers. The inadequate Google form X created to falsely demonstrate DSA compliance wasted many hours of researchers' time and this portion of the fine should be redistributed to the affected scholars as compensation

Elon Musk’s X fined €120m by EU in first clash under new digital laws

Ruling could put European Commission on collision course with billionaire, and possibly Donald Trump
