The @EUCommission’s #DigitalServicesAct enforcement cost about €15 million less than anticipated in 2025.
"The surplus comes as the cost of human resources was some €8 million lower than estimated, with operational and administrative expenditure some €7.5 million lower," wrote Politico.
In other words: the Commission has difficulties hiring the number of staff it needs to hold #BigTech accountable.

A Los Angeles jury awarded $3 million against Meta and YouTube in the first social media addiction trial, finding platform design features were a "substantial factor" in causing harm to a young user. Jury also found evidence of malice, setting up punitive damages. With 100,000+ similar claims pending and federal trials coming, this verdict could reshape platform liability beyond content moderation protections.

Regulating the Platforms
At their #rp25 ession with Chan-Jo Jun & Dr Jessica Flint
Social media platforms act like shadow governments, deciding what we see. Meanwhile, the state has been reduced to just another user.
Right-wing extremist content that violates human dignity dominates platforms—because polarisation is profitable.We don’t just need regulation like the Digital Services Act—we need to implement and enforce it. Fundamental rights must apply online just as offline.

⚡️ Study finds UK's online safety regime lacks fundamental regulatory capacity, giving platforms superior resources and posing risks of regulatory capture. To avert this, government must assert authority, ensuring rigorous oversight and enforcement of the regime. #PlatformRegulation #OnlineSafety https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1965384/articles/200049168/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Coming back to the office after 2 months to find out that #Amazon,
the 4th largest company *in the world* by revenue,
which runs an #ecommerce website with 2+ billion monthly users,
argues its "fundamental rights" have been violated by the @EU_Commission because they designated Amazon as #VeryLargeOnlinePlatform under the #DigitalServicesAct.
You can't make this shit up.

The House of Lords has put out a press release about the #OnlineSafetyBill summarising the process and where they're up to - quite a handing little catch up doc with lots of links if you've not been following the debate:

The designation of the first 19 VLOPs and VLOSEs is here!
Thierry Breton just announced the (not so surprising) list:

... ".. privacy; and to ensure that services are transparent and accountable".
Note that this is slightly different from the content of Lord Stevenson's amendment on this point.
Here's Hansard: https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2023-04-19/debates/0C27A2E7-484D-46A2-A68C-4C6B9FBA671E/OnlineSafetyBill
Committee continues next week, looking at scope.

The #OnlineSafetyBill is due to enter Committee Stage in the Lords on the 19th April (Wednesday). Dates for the next 5 sittings are here: https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137/stages/17371
but we are basically talking about 2 a week (subject to the odd coronation or so). This is the running list of amendments as at 14th April: https://bills.parliament.uk/publications/49991/documents/3290

New Mexico jury found Meta liable for child endangerment, awarding $375 million. Meta's stock rose 5%. The fine matters less than the legal precedent: New Mexico's case sidesteps Section 230 protections by targeting platform design, not user content. 40+ state AGs now have a tested strategy. Next phase determines if Meta must redesign products. #TechPolicy #Section230 #PlatformRegulation
