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.
