L'Arcom a publié en mars les résultats de la 2e étude de l'Observatoire de l’audience des plateformes en ligne. Toujours un peu de mal avec les données très proches des confinements, mais ça a le mérite d'exister. https://wikirider.pybeaudouin.fr/2026/05/25/observatoire-de-laudience-des-plateformes-en-ligne/

Under the #EU jurisdiction, every large online platform (#VLOP) or very large search engine (#VLOSE) needs to provide annual reports on risks associated with how their respective is designed, and works in practice.
Topics are, among others: preventing harms to fundamental rights and to election processes; gender-based violence.
It's been mandatory for three years now. The European Center for Not-for-profit Law (#ECNL) has analyzed those reports, and found recurring issues:
- Vague risk statements
- Insufficient attention to fundamental rights
- Irrelevant or missing data
- Limited stakeholder engagement
- Neglect of EU diversity
If you are interested in the rich community of European NGOs defending rights and freedoms online, follow @edri, a network that connects and unites more than 50 of them.
You might discover some EDRi members in your own country that you weren't aware of, so far.

A i tak wszyscy tam siedzą. A tymczasem powinien być zakaz korzystania z VLOP przez instytucje państwowe i powiązane w jakikolwiek sposób ze skarbem państwa. Przez to, że tam publikują swoje posty, niejako legitymizują wszelkie scamy i patologie na Facebookach, X-ach czy też TikTokach. #vlop #scam #cybersecurity #digitalsovereignty

Let's embark today in the analysis of risks assessments reports that very large services (#VLOP Platforms and #VLOSE Search Engine) have to publish under the #DSA.
Here are some of my key takeaways!
The first thing that strikes me is the disparities in evidence, readability and explanations in the different reports. If, for instance, Google presents a clear and detailed methodology, other services can just dive into their own propaganda of mitigation measures.

Euroopan komission tutkinta kiinalaista pikamuotia myyvää SHEIN -verkkokauppaa kohtaan valmistui
EU vaatii SHEINia muuttamaan käytäntöjään rankasti, mm. valheelliset alennukset ja painostustaktiikat pitää lopettaa. Lisäksi yhtiön pitää noudattaa eurooppalaisia palautuskäytäntöjä.

Whatsapp faces strictest EU platform rules, but not Telegram.
Meta’s messaging app WhatsApp will be the 26th online platform to face transparency requirements under the EU’s platform rules.
The platform has reached 46.8 million monthly average users in the EU, over the threshold of 45 million active users to be considered a Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

For every #moderation decision that restricts or removes content or accounts, the #EU's "Digital Services Act" (#DSA) obliges #platforms to submit a "statement of reasons" (SoR) to a "DSA Transparency Database".
As of today, this affects 23 designated Very Large Online Platforms (#VLOPs).
(Don't get excited, SoRs by law must not contain any #PII – also, there is no "case number" that you could cross-reference to moderation decisions affecting your posts. It's more of a "Statistics Database" than a "Transparency Database").
A study that became available last week ("DSA Transparency Database: Auditing Self-reported Moderation Actions by Social Media.") looked at the database, with not so surprising findings:
»Our analyses reveal that (i) the platforms adhered only in part to the philosophy and structure of the database, (ii) the structure of the database is partially inadequate for the platforms’ reporting needs, (iii) the platforms exhibited substantial differences in their moderation actions, (iv) a remarkable fraction of the database data is inconsistent, (v) the platform #X (formerly #Twitter) presents the most inconsistencies.«

Czym jest #tiktok? Oto jest pytanie!
Dla niektórych platforma z kreatywnymi filmikami. Dla niektórych aplikacja do szpiegowania zachodu, a nawet robienia Europejkom i Europejczykom wody z mózgu. A może zwykły biznes?
Jakie zagrożenia związane z funkcjonowaniem platformy widzą jej właściciele? I co robią, żeby je ograniczać?
Niezależnie od tego, co myślicie, zajrzyjcie do naszej analizy sprawozdania TikToka z oceny systemowych ryzyk:

[en] From Walls to Windows: Creating Transparency to Understand Filter Bubbles in Social Media
"... studying filter bubbles in social media ... has proven challenging, despite extensive #research in this area. In this work, we introduce SOAP (System for Observing and Analyzing Posts), a novel system designed to collect and analyze very large online platforms (VLOPs) data to study filter bubbles at scale."

#Telegram, scatta l'indagine sulla piattaforma
L’accusa? Aver sottostimato il numero dei propri utenti mensili (#MAU) affinché non si superasse la soglia dei 45 milioni di potenziali beneficiari finali, un limite che, se oltrepassato, qualificherebbe la piattaforma come un #social dalle dimensioni enormi (#VLOP) e quindi soggetta a regole molto più restrittive, riguardanti la #sicurezza, #moderazione e conformità.

Henkkarit esille!
Maaliskuun lopulla suomalaisten pitää todistaa ikänsä, mikäli haluavat vierailla maailman suurimmilla aikuisviihdesivustoilla.
Taustalla on EU:n Digital Services Act, joka koskettaa etenkin valtavia nettipalveluita, mukaanlukien myös aikuisviihdesivut.
Pelkkä "Kyllä, olen täysi-ikäinen" -laatikon ruksiminen ei enää riitä, vaan ikä pitää pystyä oikeasti todistamaan, todennäköisesti verkkopankkitunnuksilla.

According to the tech industry:
- #Amazon isn't a very large online platform under the #DSA because corporations have human rights too!
- #Apple's #AppStore is not a #DMA #gatekeeper core service because in reality the company runs 5 different app stores!
- #Tiktok is not a social network under the DMA because "we're about content discovery, not real-world connections".
I'm seriously LMAO
