The newly established #DSA's European Board for Digital Services had its inaugural meeting last week.

In this great piece for @dsaobservatory, @jjaursch explains why the EBDS is more than an advisor body, having in fact the potential to become a nodal point for the enforcement of the #DSA.

More than an advisory group: why The European Board for Digital Services has key roles in DSA enforcement - DSA Observatory

Julian Jaursch Two days after the Digital Services Act (DSA) became applicable in its entirety across the EU, a new group of regulators introduced by the DSA met for the first time: On February 19, 2024, the European Board for Digital Services (“the Board”) had its inaugural meeting in Brussels. While it is billed merely

The DSA's "Board for Digital Services" met for 1st time on Monday

What's the role of this new regulators' group? How could it support DSA enforcement?

In my article for @dsaobservatory, I look at the Board's tasks and what questions are still open. I argue it's well-positioned to become a key node for the emerging community of practice around the DSA - if board members have resources+motivation for it

Many thanks to SNV team + Ilaria Buri for great feedback+editing!

After some political bickering, now clear+formal questions to figure out if Twitter follows DSA

Europ. Commission will have proceedings on:

Did the company do enough to counter spread of illegal content?

Separately from that - this is important! - did the company do enough to deal with "info manipulation"?

Is the company open enough for ppl, esp researchers, to understand the platform?

Are checkmarks deceptively designed?

The Commission has just opened infringement proceedings against X (Twitter), for the suspected breach of a number of #DSA obligations (relating to risk management, content moderation, dark patterns, advertising transparency and data access for researchers).

📣 As the #Digital Services Act enforcement gains momentum, non-EU based civil society and research organizations wonder how the DSA is relevant to their work. In this analysis for @dsaobservatory, @awo @laurelinelmn and @mathver explore the extraterritorial implications of the #DSA, and how non-EU CSOs can get involved in its enforcement 👏
