Dear all,
Many thanks for your proposed terms and for offering
your contribution. Thanks to your help the list has been remarkably expanded and we were
able to take or assign almost all newly added terms, but there are two instances
(“coordinated flagging” and “deplatforming”) which remain unassigned. Please, consider
putting your name next to them or delete.( The invitation is specially directed to the
person who added them :)
We will leave the list open until the end of this week
*(Sunday 24th May)*, in case anyone wants to make further suggestions. Following that, we
will rearrange it in alphabetical order and create the template so that everyone can
insert their definitions (ideally between 100 and 1000 words).
Do feel free to share (via email or in the Google doc)
any questions or concerns.
Best wishes,
Luca and Nicolo

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

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.
All the best,
Paddy

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://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1hYVd8DiICKJ9ltBaGPp_PACRWaRK3cEgfsbG-9ClxZ4%2Fedit&data=02%7C01%7Cp.j.leerssen%40uva.nl%7Cdb476ecfb0074c34429008d7f61455d4%7Ca0f1cacd618c4403b94576fb3d6874e5%7C1%7C0%7C637248439527851754&sdata=eGWhd66IAwCgkSUz6K5Ril%2B%2F%2FBKTlgwfj%2FoHqc%2F%2BaZ4%3D&reserved=0>).
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

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.
All the best,
Nicolo and Luca

> Dear all,

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.

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

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.
