Hi friends! [and with standard apologies for cross-posting. ] Something I mentioned last time we met – which seems so long ago now. I want to draw your attention to the consultation process to update the Santa Clara Principles on Transparency and Accountability in Content Moderation: https://santaclaraprinciples.org/cfp/ These principles have proved somewhat useful in getting tech companies to improve the information they provide to users about content takedowns under their Terms of Service. EFF had a list in 2019 of major platforms that had endorsed or at least partially adopted them: https://www.eff.org/wp/who-has-your-back-2019 There’s going to be a big revision process over the next year, and the first stage is to hear from advocates and scholars working in the area. Any comments you can provide would be greatly appreciated (deadline is 30 June 2020). This consultation is an acknowledgement that the drafting of the initial principles was a relatively quick process by a small group of civil society advocates and scholars, and we left a lot of important voices out. The important thing for the next version is to make sure that they represent a more diverse set of views and address the major challenges that people have identified and are facing. We’d also appreciate if you could circulate the call for submissions to others who may be interested. Any questions, let me know.

Roadmap/Inception impact assessments: * “ex ante regulatory instrument of very large online platforms acting as gatekeepers“ https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… * “deepening the Internal Market and clarifying responsibilities for digital services“ https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/1… * Public consultation: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Digital_Services_Act Best, Sebastian @schwemer<https://twitter.com/schwemer> +45 35 33 10 16
