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/RAupmF2S6voG/content/terms-of-service-and-human-rights-an-analysis-of-online-platform-contracts?inheritRedirect=false
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-2015-output-document-1/file
Congratulations to all for the excellent work!
Kind regards
