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

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.
The European Commission is accepting feedback on a draft delegated act under the DSA to govern researcher access to platform data. The draft introduces many commendable ideas, but suffers from a limited conception of empirical research, write Lukas Seiling, Ulrike Klinger, and Jakob Ohme.
