#vlose — Public Fediverse posts

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

You might discover some EDRi members in your own country that you weren't aware of, so far.

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.

Il Digital Services Act #DSA, la legge europea che protegge gli utenti dalle “worst practices” degli operatori online, entra ora in vigore per i #VLOPS (Very Large Online Platforms) e i #VLOSE (Very Large Online Search Engines)

#Google non ha superato i gli stress test di qualche mese fa e non si è adeguata alle prescrizioni

In sintesi: faremo, faremo, faremo, stiamo per fare

Komisja Europejska ogłosiła listę 19 wielkich platform internetowych (#VLOP) i wyszukiwarek (#VLOSE), czyli najpoważniejszych graczy w Internecie. W ciągu czterech miesięcy firmy te będą musiały wprowadzić szereg wynikających z #DSA zmian, by ich usługi stały się bezpieczniejsze dla użytkowników i użytkowniczek.

Jakie konkretnie zmiany to będą?

Die #EUKommission hat bekanntgegeben, wer als #VLOP (Very Large Online Platform) und als #VLOSE (Very Large Online Search Engine) eingestuft wird.
Für diese gelten die strengsten Regeln der neuen Onlinegesetze #DMA & #DSA, die Einhaltung wird von der Kommission selbst überwacht.

Here we go officially: the list of #VLOPs and #VLOSE designated today by Thierry Breton and the EU commission. Including Twitter, LinkedIn, Wikipedia and TikTok, but not Telegram. #digitalservicesact
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_23_2413

@1br0wn let me correct you as you are confused. Both #DSA #DMA affect #SMEs (with softer requirements than the big platforms). The difference is that the supervision of #VLOPS and #VLOSE will be a competence of the Commission, while #SME platforms will be supervised by Member States. On top of that, #DMA is precisely designed to allow for a level playing field between gatekeepers and #SMEs.

Il Digital Services Act dell#UE entra nel vivo

Ieri era la deadline per comunicare il numero degli utenti da parte delle piattaforme online e dei motori di ricerca

I più grandi di loro, i #vlop (very large online platforms) e i #vlose (very large online search engine) saranno sottoposti a misure speciali per ridurre il ruolo di #gatekeeper e l’abuso di posizione dominante

Il comunicato si trova qui: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/digital-services-act-commission-starts-collecting-platforms-user-numbers-and-consults-its?pk_source=ec_newsroom&pk_medium=email&pk_campaign=Shaping%20Europe%27s%20Digital%20Future%20website%20updates

When is a platform a #VLOP or a search engine a #VLOSE under the new EU #DSA? In principle, if the number of "average monthly active recipients of the service in the Union" is higher than 45 million (Article 33(1) DSA).

How these numbers were to be calculated was very unclear.

The EU Commission just published guidance on this: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/dsa-guidance-requirement-publish-user-numbers
