Thanks for the conversation, Denise Dahmen.

ODS does not replace state judicial proceedings; it complements them. At User Rights, we are developing what we believe is the most effective model to do precisely that: providing thorough legal review, grounded in fundamental rights, in a swift and accessible manner.

Rights are meaningless if they are not enforceable—or if enforcement mechanisms, such as court proceedings, are too burdensome and costly to be effectively accessible for 99.9% of individuals affected by content moderation.

Thanks Domingos! will do!

And—by the way—we’re hiring!

Looking for case reviewers, marketing, and social media support. Feel free to reach out.

The goal now is to prove that this ambitious model can work—and to help set high standards for the emerging landscape.

Join me on the journey.
I’ll be posting updates here about what we do, how we do it, and why it matters.

I believe we also have the most ambitious vision: combining fundamental rights-based review with an efficient, scalable model.

We’ve built a product that blends tech and human review, and we keep refining our approach with input from our academic advisory board.

We’ve been the first to work with Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. The first to have data exchange in place with these platforms. And the first to issue decisions—several hundred so far. And the first whose decisions have actually been implemented.

We founded the first ODS body focused specifically on social media - User Rights www.user-rights.org/en. We got certified last August and have been resolving disputes since—it’s been quite a ride.

Art. 21 of the DSA allows for the creation of out-of-court dispute settlement bodies for social media.

Anyone in the EU can appeal to these bodies to challenge content moderation decisions by platforms.
