Re: [CPR] Platform Regulations Glossary for IGF 2020

by Nicolo Zingales

Dear all, Thank you very much for the terms you suggested, and for your expressions of interest to provide definitions of several terms. 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://docs.google.com/document/d/1hYVd8DiICKJ9ltBaGPp_PACRWaRK3cEgfsbG-9C…>). 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" <LB(a)lucabelli.net> Date: Thursday, 16 April 2020 at 10:51 To: Richard Wingfield <richard(a)gp-digital.org>, "cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net" <cpr(a)listas.altermundi.net> Cc: Nicolo Zingales <nicolo.zingales(a)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.

[CPR] NYT podcast series about online radicalisation

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I want to share a really interesting podcast series that the New York Times recently launched. It's called the Rabbit Hole <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/podcasts/the-daily/rabbit-hole.html>, and it explores – among other things – how the Internet has evolved, how algorithms have developed, how individuals can be radicalised online, and the role of platforms in all of this. Stay safe and well, and have a good weekend, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

[CPR] CPR session (27/11) and informal meeting (26/11)

by Nicolo Zingales

Dear all, As the Internet Governance Forum is approaching, this email is to coordinate with those who are going to be in attendance. First, as you probably know, the CPR will hold its session<https://igf2019.sched.com/event/SU3d/dc-on-platform-responsibility> on 27 November from 15 to 16:30 in Estrel Saal B in Sonnenallee 225, 12057 Berlin, and you are warmly invited to participate. We’re delighted to have a panel representing views from a range of experts and stakeholders, promising a lively discussion. You will find more details at the bottom of this email. By way of stimulation of your punctuality at the session, please be informed that we will have 100 hard copies of the Computer Law & Security Review’s Special Issue on ‘Platform Values: Conflicting Rights, AI and Tax Avoidance’ available on a first come, first served basis. Second, as in previous years, we would like to arrange an informal meeting of CPR members and likeminded researchers to discuss ideas and opportunities for collaboration around platform responsibility. We think that the best moment of the conference to do that is during one of the introductory high-level sessions. Therefore, we’d like to invite you to join us to meet at 16h on 26 November (day 1 of the IGF) at the main entrance of the room where our session will take place (again, Estrel Saal B). If you think you will be able to make it, please let us know (offlist) so we can count you in and make sure to find a suitable location for the meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!

[CPR] Report on RightsCon Meeting

by LB＠lucabelli.net

Dear all, I would like to share a brief report on our RightsCon meeting, for those who were not able to participate. The discussion focused on the organization of our IGF session; on the concrete output that we are elaborating ahead of the IGF (i.e. the special issue of the Computer Law & Security Review, dedicated to "Platform Values: Conflicting Rights, Artificial Intelligence and Tax Avoidance" https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-law-and-security-review/call-for… ) and on the strategies we may implement to stimulate better synergies between various stakeholder composing the coalition. It was stressed that the IGF Session would benefit from the participation of both a representative of a platform and of a business that is being disrupted by digital platforms. As regards the former, it was stressed it would be better to avoid having the “classic” Google, FB, etc but rather involving a different kind of platform. Elsevir, which is developing AI solutions to manage its platform has expressed interest to join the debate. It was also suggested to have a professional journalist on the panel to represent the views of newspapers regarding and how they are coping with platforms' “disruption”. These speakers will be included in addition to the contributors to the special issue, who will briefly present their findings. As regards the special issue, I provided a brief update of the ongoing elaboration process. We received a good number of contributions, which are now under peer review. Many of the contributions will be presented by the authors and discussed on the 19th of July at the dedicated workshop we announced in the call for papers, to be held at FGV Law School. An important update as regards the special issue is that we negotiated with the Computer Law & Security Review to have the text in open access for one year. Lastly, we agreed on the importance of organising the usual coalition reunion after our IGF session and to make an effort to include specially journalists, activists and regulators that may be interested in using the research featured in the special issue as well as the Best Practices that will also be annexed to the special issue. Both the special issue and the best practices will be considered out outcome and it was suggeste we should try to make an effort to make the outcomes visible to those stakeholders that may concretely using them. Civil society advocates and regulators would be particularly critical to involve in this perspective. Please feel free to share any other information I might have forgotten.

[CPR] RightsCon Meeting on Platform Responsibility

by Nicolo Zingales

Dear all, As many of us will be at RightsCon, next week, I am writing to enquire on whether you might be interested in having a brief and convivial meeting to share ideas and organise our work ahead of the IGF. Last year, at RightsCon Toronto, we had the possibility to meet for one hour and the discussion was immensely useful and fruitful. We have written to the RightsCon organisers to book a room on Thursday, 13 June. Please let us know (either on-list or via PM) if you are interested in joining the meeting and if there is any theme that you would like to prioritise for discussion. All the best Luca and Nicolo
