🔎 The delegated act under the Digital Services Act (DSA) published today enables qualified researchers to request internal data from very large online platforms and search engines.   Why is it important?   Researchers, for example in children’s mental health, illegal content or disinformation, will be able to better study the systemic risks of online services, including social media, online marketplaces, adult sites, and web browsers.   The delegated act complements the obligation already in force under the DSA on access to public data and provides vetted researchers with a unique new tool to play a key part in examining and safeguarding the online world.   Together, they will help to make the online platforms and search engines safer, fairer and more transparent for everyone.

📃 New rules harmonising the format, content, and reporting periods for transparency reports now apply under the Digital Services Act.   The DSA transparency reports are crucial to facilitate transparency and public accountability of digital services in the EU.   Every year, providers of intermediary services must report on the number of pieces of content removed, the accuracy of automated content moderation systems, account terminations, and content moderation teams.   Having these reports harmonised means reducing inconsistencies between reports which hinder assessment and comparison of moderation practices.   Read more about the Implementing Act → https://europa.eu/!8YRwQw   #DigitalServicesAct #DSA #DigitalEU
