[CPR] DCPR Outcomes Quoted by Council of Europe Best Practices on Content Moderation

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Dear colleagues, Just a quick message to let you know the Council of Europe adopted the Best practices on regulatory mechanisms of content moderation https://rm.coe.int/content-moderation-en/1680a2cc18 The document quotes in several occasions the 2017 DCPR report on “Platform regulations: how platforms are regulated and how they regulate us” which was launched in at the IGF in Geneva is available in open access here http://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/dspace/handle/10438/19402 The CoE Best Practices also take considerable inspiration from the “Recommendations on Terms of Service and Human Rights” that are annexed in the outcome volume above as well as in this study on “Terms of Service and Human Rights” developed in partnership by the Center for Technology and Society at FGV and the Council of Europe (also quoted by the CoE Best Practices) https://www.coe.int/en/web/freedom-expression/home/-/asset_publisher/RAupmF… The Recommendations were presented at the IGF 2015, as an outcome of the IGF Coalition on Platform Responsibility, and are available here https://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/igf-meeting/igf-2016/830-dcpr-201… Congratulations to all for the excellent work!

[CPR] IGF Session: Platform Interoperability?

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Dear all, I hope everyone is well (within the limit of the ongoing pandemic mess)! As you might know, the deadline to submit an IGF session proposal is next week. A recurring theme in recent platform related discussion is platform interoperability and how this can play out in practice. In conversation with several Coalition members, we identified this as a key concerns on which many of us are currently working. I know many list members have worked on this topic and I would like to check if there is any interest in dedicating the coalition session to Platform Interoperability or something along these lines. A Coalition outcome for this year could be a brief paper on such topic (or some sort of Platform Interoperability Guide, collecting existing research on this topic) Anyone interested in the session or outcome, please feel free to reply on-list or directly! Lastly, Nicolo and I are also awaiting a reply from the Editor of the Glossary but unfortunately, due to the pandemic, all editorial processes have been tremendously delayed. We will share updates ASAP. Feel free to reply on-list or via direct email. All the best Luca & Nicolo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Luca Belli, PhD Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro Chercheur Associé, Centre de Droit Public Comparé, Université Paris 2 www.cyberbrics.info | www.cpdp.lat | www.internet-governance.fgv.br t: @1lucabelli ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message, as well as any attached document, may contain personal data and information that is confidential and privileged and is intended only for the use of the addressee named above.

[CPR] Reminder: Glossary of Platform Law & Policy Terms

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Hello everyone, Just a kind reminder, in case you wish to provie further comments on the Glossary Best Dear colleagues, I hope this mail finds you well, despite the pandemic situation. As many of you already know, over the past year we have developed a Glossary of Key Terms on Platform Law and Policy, thanks to the IGF Coalition on Platform Responsibility*. A “commentable” version of the Glossary will be available on the IGF website (here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/glossary-on-platform-law-a…) until 31 January 2021. Everyone is welcome to add feedback, comments or references to his/her works on the matter, alongside the text, section per section. We have received relevant feedback over the past months and at the IGF session on Platform Regulations: Towards A Common Vocabulary (video recordings here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzED-xkUYcM), but we are sure there are many viewpoints or works developed by members of this list that deserve to be included/cited. Please feel free to add your comments and references using the IGF platform. Comments and references to works developed by colleagues from the Global South are particularly welcome. You can also download the Glossary in pdf format here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/filedepot_download/4905/2373 FYI, the Glossary is also listed as one of the official outputs of the IGF 2020, in the Dynamic Coalitions' output section (here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dc-coordination-activities). Lastly, please feel free to share this email or the linked documents through your networks. The more comments and feedback we receive, the stronger will be the final product. I wish an excellent 2021, with less stress, more “normal' life, and multiple vaccines available to everyone!

[CPR] Platform Glossary Progress

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Dear all, We hope this email finds you well, despite the pandemic situation. This is a much overdue follow-up to our IGF session (video herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzED-xkUYcM). We were pleased to see the initiative of the Glossary praised by several IGF stakeholders, and colleagues beyond the IGF, many of which offered to provide comments. We have finally managed to upload the Glossary in an easy-to-comment format. It took a long time due COVID-related delays at the IGF Secretariat, combined with some technical issue that made the upload a very turbulent process. The Glossary is now available in the official IGF platform (here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/glossary-on-platform-law-a…) where everyone can add comments alongside the text, section per section. The format is less user-friendly than Google Docs, but it gives a certain level of formality to the process and allows everyone to comment without requiring to use Google services (which not everyone might be inclined to). The entire Glossary is also available in pdf format (here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/filedepot_download/4905/2373 . It is also listed as one of the official outputs of the IGF, in the Dynamic Coalitions' section (here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/dc-coordination-activities). The document will be open for comments and further work on definitions until 31 January 2021. We extended to 31 January as we lost almost a month trying to update the Document, and the previously agreed deadline (31 December) was becoming too tight. After the 31st of January, it will be edited, streamlined and sent to a publisher- we are still searching for the ideal format, if you have suggestions please let us know! Lastly, please feel free to share the documents through your networks. The more comments and feedback we receive, the stronger will be the final product. Best wishes, also for the upcoming holiday season!

[CPR] Coalition Session on Thursday

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Dear all, Please, note that IGF registration is essential to participate to the Coalition session and it will be possible to register until the end of the meeting via this link. Below the details of the Coalition session: IGF 2020 Platform Regulations: Towards A Common Vocabulary 16:20 to 17:50 UTC, 5 Nov, Room 1, organised by the IGF Coalition on Platform Responsibility IGF 2020 Platform Regulations: Towards A Common Vocabulary Add to Calendar Room: Room 1 About this Session: This session will discuss the most relevant and contentious platforms governance issues such as AI, content moderation, effective remedies that need a convergent approach to be addressed effectively. It will present the first consolidated draft of the Glossary on Platform Law and Policy, a guide on key terms related to platform governance for policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders alike. DC: Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility Panel - Auditorium - 90 Min Theme: Trust Subtheme: Content Blocking and Filtering Information and disinformation Platforms Description: This session will feature an expert-led discussion of recent trends and developments around platform governance. It will begin with a series of brief presentations of the DC output for 2019/2020: a glossary of terms of platform law and policy. This will be followed by an open discussion with specific focus on future directions of work for the DCPR. Relevance to IG: The proposal aims to provide visibility to the important work of the DCPR around the definition and simplification of key internet governance issues, such as platform responsibility, content recognition technologies, disinformation, various forms of online harm, end to end encryption, recommender systems, data portability, interoperability and non-discrimination (just to name a few). This will provide the floor for a multistakeholder discussion, bringing together a range of views, and account for the relationships between existing laws, enforcement and self-regulation in crucial platform governance domains. Relevance to Theme: The discussion that this proposal aims to stimulate would enable the identification by stakeholders of diverging and converging approaches to responsible content moderation, thus elucidating the importance of different approaches to responsibility for platforms and users alike. Organizers: Nicolo Zingales, FGV + Luca Belli, FGV Speakers: Keynote speeches on Platform Governance and its new dimensions Julie Owono, Oversight Board (Facebook) Lofred Madzou, World Economic Forum Presentations (5-minute long) by panellists followed by open discussion: Richard Wingfield, Global Partners Digital Rossana Ducato, University of Aberdeen and UC Louvain Catalina Goanta, Maastricht University Rolf H.

[CPR] SCP update

by Nicolas Suzor

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.

Dear all A quick „hi“ from Copenhagen – The inception impact assessments and public consultation on the Digital Services Act (upcoming revision of the E-Commerce Directive) are out and might be of interest to you. consultation will form the basis of a revision of inter alia the European liability exemption rules – and might very well turn into the single most important regulatory overhaul since 2000. 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

Re: [CPR] Platform Regulations Glossary for IGF 2020

by Nicolo Zingales

Dear Paddy, Many thanks for your appreciation and enthusiasm. Please feel free to remove your name from any term! The idea is for everyone to contribute as much as they can and on terms they feel strongly about…and it sounds like you have a preference there : ) If any of the proposed terms are left unaddressed, we can simply remove them (unless they are really essential). We might also be able to bring in a couple more people, and please do feel free to extend the invitation to anyone you feel would be interested! Best, Nicolo From: "Leerssen, Paddy" <p.j.leerssen(a)uva.nl> Date: Tuesday, 12 May 2020 at 08:32 To: Nicolo Zingales <nicolo.zingales(a)fgv.br>, "LB(a)lucabelli.net" <LB(a)lucabelli.net>, Richard Wingfield <richard(a)gp-digital.org>, "cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net" <cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net> Subject: RE: [CPR] Platform Regulations Glossary for IGF 2020 Dear Luca, Dear Nicolo, Thanks for your message. I’m afraid this isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but I’m actually hoping I could reduce my contribution somewhat. It’s my own fault, of course, but I got a bit carried away in my enthusiasm and self-registered for 10 different terms. Now I’m a bit worried about the workload, keeping in mind not only the admonitions of my PhD supervisors but of course also with a view to ensuring the quality of my contribution. I’d feel a lot more comfortable if I was able to drop three or four terms. Whether or not we try to find replacements, or instead drop some of these terms entirely, is a decision I’ll leave up to you. If possible, I would prefer to retain the terms ‘governance’, ‘platform governance’, ‘curation’, ‘amplification’ and ‘microtargeting’, and ‘media pluralism’. I am less attached to ‘must-carry’, ‘common carrier’, ‘utility’, ‘infrastructure’. But I’m of course willing to be flexible depending on what you think is best for the project. Again, thanks for involving me in this, and sorry for letting my eyes grow bigger than my stomach. I think it’s interesting and important work.

We have put together a decent number of them, 63 terms to be precise, and 14 contributors. However, we are currently short of contributors for about 20 terms, so in order to have a complete list we would kindly ask each of you by 15 May (our original deadline) to pick between one and two additional terms that have not yet been taken (those highlighted in green in the shared doc<https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>). There are a couple of situations where we have suggested that two terms should be defined by the same person as they are closely related, for example the definition of self- and co-regulation. Where more than one contributor exists for a specific term, we would welcome a collaboration between those contributors at the drafting stage, so as to make it easier to integrate each other’s input in the definition. In practice, it would be ideal if those contributors could come up with a joint definition, hoping this is fine for you. Please let us know any questions or suggestions. We’ll get back to you with the final list by the end of the week. All the best, Luca and Nicolo From: "LB(a)lucabelli.net<mailto:LB@lucabelli.net>" <LB(a)lucabelli.net<mailto:LB@lucabelli.net>> Date: Thursday, 16 April 2020 at 10:51 To: Richard Wingfield <richard(a)gp-digital.org<mailto:richard@gp-digital.org>>, "cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net<mailto:cpr@listas.altermundi.net>" <cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net<mailto:cpr@listas.altermundi.net>> Cc: Nicolo Zingales <nicolo.zingales(a)fgv.br<mailto:nicolo.zingales@fgv.br>> Subject: RE: Re: [CPR] Platform Regulations Glossary for IGF 2020 Dear Richard, Thank you for your interest and for sharing these thoughtful comments. Both points relate to an intrinsic limitation of this exercise: it will be extremely hard to make a comprehensive and detailed glossary, especially considering the limited time and resources that people are likely to be able to put into this commitment in these hectic times. We can try to assuage those concerns by: (1) making sure the list of terms features some of the most pressing and debated issues in the debate over platform law and policy. It is probably a good choice not to get into the definition of specific types of illegal content, as that would be heavily dependent on the jurisdiction in question, but it may be a remiss not to attempt a definition of the policy issues that are used to claim/justify some form of platform responsibility beyond what the applicable law requires. So, in this sense, defining disinformation, trolling and “inauthentic coordinated behaviour” (a concept that Facebook uses to prevent coordinated forms of “misuse” of their service in violation of community standards) would appear more useful than defining terms like hate speech, defamation, violent extremism, terrorism, bullying, revenge pornography. (2) in the definitions, recognizing as much as possible the existence of competing/alternative views on the topic, possibly also providing links to sources where those views are more fully explained. While our goal is definitely to be schematic and clear, as you suggest, I’d like to think that this group can add value by referencing some of the cases/official documents of public authorities that address those concepts in more detail. In other words, we do not have to entirely sacrifice nuance for the sake of clarity and simplicity, if we can add links/references. Perhaps one challenge there is how to maintain as much as possible an impartial and objective perspective while also recognizing the diversity of approaches, but I don’t think the two are irreconcilable if we maintain a sufficiently abstract and high-level approach. After all, it is not uncommon for glossaries to have more than one entry for each concept, right? Happy to discuss this more in detail, either in the list or within the group of people who volunteered to participate. We’ll circulate an email to those people shortly with more information about our next steps.

I think it's a really interesting and useful project and I look forward to being a part of it! One question I do have is how we approach the idea of providing definitions of particular types of illegal/harmful content (at present, the list includes disinformation and hate speech, but I can see others are already making suggestions). While it may well be necessary to look at these through the Glossary, I can see a couple of challenges. First, there are dozens of types of such illegal/harmful content (the list could easily also include defamation, bullying, violent extremism, terrorism, trolling, revenge pornography), all of which are concerning to policymakers. We'll need to think carefully over which ones we want to include as, conceptually, it might be hard to justify including some but not others. Second, it's almost impossible to define some of these satisfactorily. Experts in the field haven't been able to reach agreement on a definition for hate speech, for example, and I'm not sure that even the brilliant minds within DCPR will be able to reach consensus. We may want to think about how we can help promote good, clear definitions of some of these terms, without necessarily suggesting that we have the perfect definitions I'd be interested in others' thoughts on this, and how we can use the Glossary to help move the discussion forward among policymakers on these sensitive issues.

It sounds interesting and, I would say, useful. I have already added some other key terms, especially focusing on online advertising. Hope to meet you all in November. Please take care! Best wishes Giovanni Il giorno mer 8 apr 2020 alle ore 21:34 <LB(a)lucabelli.net<mailto:LB@lucabelli.net>> ha scritto: Dear all, Hopefully this email finds you well and in good health in these troubled times. Its goal is to solicit your input into work to be developed as coalition 2020 output and the organisation of the annual IGF meeting. As you might know, the IGF Secretariat recently issued its call for proposals for workshops and DC meetings for the next IGF, which should in principle (Coronavirus permitting) take place in Poland on 2-6 November. As one of the Dynamic Coalitions, we can reserve a slot by showing that we have been working on some form of output; therefore, we would like to hereby launch a process of implementation of the main suggestions made in our informal meeting at the 2019 IGF, i.e. to create a Glossary of key terms on platform law and policy, so as to provide a common language for academics, regulators and policy-makers when discussing issues of platform responsibility. As usual, we rely on spontaneous contributions of members of this list, and thus we let the list of terms be shaped by your intuition of what is most useful. Here is a shared document <https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> where you can indicate terms for which you could provide a definition, in clear and objective terms. Some examples of key concepts are listed in the document, but please feel free to add more. Definitions could vary in length and focus (and the more nuance the better), but we would aim this to be a “living document” where we can bring together contributions from a range of disciplines and vocabularies. So, by all means, do not hesitate to put your name if you are inclined to provide a definition for a particular term in the list, even if someone else has already indicated their availability to do so. We will then help coordinate to ensure that the inputs from multiple contributors are complementary, rather than duplicating efforts. At this point, we would like to simply receive your feedback as regards your interest in the development of the glossary and to participate in the DCPR session as a speaker (the former being a prerequisite for the latter). Our proposed plan (on which we welcome any feedback) is the following: 1) by 15 April: receive your expressions of interest for the development of the Glossary and participation to the session, so that we can submit a request for an IGF 2020 Session of the Coalition (the deadline is the 22of April) 2) by 15 May: consolidate your proposed terms and share a first drafts of the list of terms that will compose the Glossary, to which you can add further terms or express your feedback until the 30th of May. 3) by 30 June: those who have expressed interest regarding the elaboration of specific terms will add their proposed definitions (ideally between 100 and 1000 words) to the shared document 4) by 30 July: we will allow all coalition members to share further updates and/or add alternative definitions to the list of proposed definitions 5) by 30 August we will have a finalised version of the Glossary that we can proofread and send to our designer to print a booklet that will be circulated at the IGF with acknowledgment of contributors. Any comments are very welcome!
