We have no idea what content is most viral on YouTube, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X – because they refuse to share basic data.

On the DSA’s Birthday (Oct 4th) we've led a “mass data access request” along with @mozilla and DSA40 Data Access Collaboratory, where a series of ~20 orgs requested daily data on their top 1,000 most-viewed posts in EU Member States. Every single one refused.

Scene from a silent film about Dutch harbours. However, the hills in the background suggest this shot wasn't taken in the Netherlands... does anyone recognise the location?
