Two years into Europe’s Digital Services Act, data access for researchers is on life support, write Mark Scott and LK Seiling. Yet an alternative future is possible—one built on openness, interoperability, and platforms that treat data access as a civic and scientific good.
In Critical Condition – How To Stabilize Researcher Data Access? | TechPolicy.Press
Mark Scott and LK Seiling discuss the struggle for researcher access to social media data and an alternative future where transparency is seen as a civic good.

We filled a complaint against Ireland to the European Commission today.
Ireland has appointed an ex-Meta lobbyist as its new Data Protection Commissioner.
This will be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity.
The European Commission must intervene.

Complaint v Ireland to European Commission re process appointing ex-Meta lobbyist as Data Protection Commissioner
Ireland's appointment process lacked procedural safeguards against conflicts of interest and political interference and may be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity

Both TikTok and Meta are breaching the DSA, according to EU Commission. The platforms are not transparent enough with their data for research use, and Meta makes reporting illegal content and appealing moderation decisions too difficult.

One of the most interesting tropes I found when doing my phd research on the enforcement of the gdpr was when I was going through old papers and books published around the time the 1995 Data Protection Directive had been introduced. 🧵

Good news everyone!

The Irish Minister for Justice has announced he is going to pass legislation requiring tech companies (who mostly live in Ireland for EU purposes) to break all their encrypted messaging systems.

New poll shows huge majorities of Europeans--74% of Von Der Leyen's own CDU--want a tough stance on Big Tech.

This is no time to roll over. Tech is vital infrastructure, and it can be ours again--with a three-part play:

Break, build, enforce.

Digital sovereignty can’t be bargained away
The European Commission has tools, public support and a mandate to act on Big Tech. Trading that away for short-term calm would be a costly mistake.

The US Embassy in Warsaw just issued this announcement - every person who wants to be considered for a visa (esp. F, M and J) needs to change their settings to public on all their social media accounts.

YES, THIS IS COMING FROM THEIR OFFICIAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

I would love this to be a joke.
