🔥 @pkrugman on the recent U.S. #National #Security #Strategy and their fight against 🇪🇺 #digital regulations.
"What makes this episode especially disturbing is that the U.S. government appears to be using its power to support the broligarchy’s fight against European #regulation.
Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, has explicitly linked U.S. #tariffs on #European steel to demands that Europe weakens its digital regulations.
The European 'Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
The breaches include the deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark', the lack of transparency of its advertising repository, and the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.'

This seemingly technical change would make data donation research impossible. While access to platform data as set out in Art. 40 of the #DSA is on its way to become functional, data donations are one of the very few access modalities to study the impact of #digital #platforms in the #EuropeanUnion and beyond

The European Union has been talking about digital sovereignty. It’s not going great in practice.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @alineblankertz to discuss the rollback of tech regulations in Europe under pressure from European companies and the US.

🚨 „Digitaler #Omnibus“ könnte Forschung zu Big-Tech erschweren @roofjoke
Das 🇪🇺 Framing der #Deregulierung ermöglicht den Abbau öffentlicher Kontrolle & verhindert wissenschaftliche #Forschung!
#Datenspenden sind enorm wichtig bei Untersuchungen zur Funktionsweise algorithmischer Systeme und digitaler #Platformen weil Tech-#Konzerne die bei ihnen vorhandenen #Daten geheim halten wollen.

🛍️ Holiday shopping is nearly there... and so are fake shops, counterfeits, and those ‘too-good-to-be-true’ deals.
If you spot illegal content or a suspected scam on a platform, report it directly through the Digital Services Act notice and action mechanism.
Platforms must review your report quickly, tell you what action they take, and explain how you can appeal if you disagree.
Shop smart. Stay protected. With the support of the Digital Services Act.
