Today is the day 🎁

The #dsa regime for researchers to get access to platform data to study societal impact and risks starts TODAY.

This has been a loooooong time coming. And the proof of the pudding will be in the eating …

Here is the first piece in a series of short articles I'm doing about the DSA and researcher access to publicly available information.

It focuses on categories of researchers under the DSA, and what data they are each authorized to use. 1/

3) 📊 Right to high-quality data:
If data under 40.12 is flawed or insufficient, researchers can turn to 40.4 for better access.

4) 📁 Platform data catalogues:
Platforms must publish and update detailed data inventories. This improves transparency and lets researchers know what to ask for.

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone.

So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment.

It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/
