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?
