And stay tuned this week for new essays and our launch event at #MozFest 2025 in Barcelona, where we’ll discuss the future of data access, research, and platform accountability.

Our series with @techpolicypress.bsky.social explores why access to public platform data is under threat, why it matters for research and democracy, and how we can build a more transparent digital public sphere.

Our new report "Better Access: Data for the Common Good", sets a baseline for independent access to high-influence public platform data – the posts, accounts, and interactions that are most consequential for shaping public discourse and civic life. Read it here 👉 kgi.georgetown.edu/research-and...
