Response to Delegated Regulation on data access provided for in the Digital Services Act

9 Dec 2024

The Digital Services Act aimed to increase transparency for recipients of online services in the European Union and create a harmonized framework for tackling the challenges of the digital environment. One of the provisions in the DSA targets access to very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) data by approved researchers. This process is detailed through a delegated act laying out the technical conditions and procedures under which very large online platforms and search engines are required to share data with vetted researchers. We welcome the European Commission's initiative to foster dialogue among all stakeholders and the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Delegated regulation on data access for vetted researchers. We would like to point out the need for more information on the scope of the data request and the data inventories that will be publicly available. Additionally, we advocate for increased flexibility in the handling of dispute settlement procedures and the timelines given to inform the Digital Services Coordinators. Lastly, we recognize the central role of the Digital Services Coordinator and would see a high value in increasing the dialogue between them and data providers in determining data access processes and the scope of those requests. More information can be found in the document attached.

Response to Implementing Act on transparency reports under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act)

23 Jan 2024

Dear Madam, Dear Sir, We thank you for the opportunity to submit our feedback to the draft act laying down the template concerning the DSA transparency reporting obligations. Our general concern is the granular level of categorization employed in the template (e.g. the categories of illegal and incompatible content, the indicators for the internal complaints mechanism), which entails potential risks for data inconsistencies within the providers databases. This arises from the fact that each platform has established its own set of criteria for the categorization of illegal content, which may not be sufficiently precise or in line with the structure proposed in the draft act. Consequently, this level of granularity may create misalignments rather than foster coherence and uniformity, as well as limit the usefulness of the database and hinder further analysis of this data by scholars and policymakers alike. Also, we notice that, for some sections of the template, the level of information required for providers goes beyond what is set forth within the relevant articles of the DSA (most notably, art. 15, 24 and, for VLOPs and VLOSEs only, art. 42). In this respect we have included in the attached file a list of inconsistencies between the requirements of the draft act and those of the DSA. We recommend the Commission take into account such inconsistencies and modify the template in line with the provisions contained in the DSA. Moreover, we appreciate the efforts made by the Commission to have a one-fits-all template for all providers (regardless of their services or business model), but, considering the level of detail required, the collection and compilation of the transparency report will be much more burdensome for small/medium platforms, which obviously cannot dedicate the same amount of resources as large platforms (incl. Within non-VLOP/VLOSEs) do when it comes to data collection. Consequently, the granular level of categorization could introduce challenges for the providers internal operations to adapt to such a level of detail. Furthermore, we would suggest that the information provided in the transparency reports should be optionally (not mandatorily) broken down by calendar month. Providers should be left free to choose less frequent breakdowns (for example, by semester). A monthly breakdown is not sustainable for providers whose internal data collection/processing is less frequent. Lastly, the way the template is proposed (in an Excel file with many lines and tabs) could bring about the risk of inaccuracy or simple mistakes made by the provider (e.g. data inputted in the wrong section of the report). If such granularity will be confirmed in the final version of the transparency report, we recommend it should not be mandatory for collection and providers should not be sanctioned for not putting this information or for putting information on a more generic level.
