We designated ChatGPT as a VLOSE and Reddit and Roblox as VLOPs under the DSA.

These services indicated that they reach at least 45M average monthly users in the EU and thus meet the threshold for designation.

Kennt sich hier jemand mit EU-Recht aus? Dürfen VLOPs in der EU Links auf Konkurrenten verzögern?
Das ist an mir vorbei gegangen. Nicht dass es überrascht, aber irgendwie ist es doch auf eine eklige Arte erstaunlich, dass dieser Typ offenbar den ganzen Tag durchs Büro rennt und die Leute neue Arschlochigkeiten ins Xitter-System einbauen lässt.

X/Twitter verzögert weiterhin Links zu acht Konkurrenten um mehrere Sekunden
Auf X/Twitter werden Links zu Patreon, WhatsApp, dem Messenger, sowie zu Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky und Substack verzögert. Das zeigt ein Onlinetool.

Reddit und Roblox werden als „sehr große Online-Plattformen“ (VLOPs) beaufsichtigt. Bis Januar 2027 müssen alle drei Dienste systemische Risiken analysieren und mindern: illegale Inhalte, Schutz Minderjähriger, mentale Gesundheit, Grundrechte, Wahlen und öffentliche Sicherheit.

Der #DSA fordert von allen Hostern daher leicht erreichbare Meldewege und ein Moderationsregime - eine Fallbearbeitung für Inhalte Dritter. Haben sie das nicht, gefährdet dies das Haftungsprivileg.... (Durchschnaufen, gleich geht's mit den #VLOPS weiter..)

This is from the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA). It aims to regulate Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) with over 45 million EU users per month. As you can see, there are laws against discrimination, hate speech and threats to elections or security.

Dit gaat dus om *iedereen* identificeren. Een gevaarlijke, privacyschendende datavergaring, technisch moeilijk (Enkel voor de VLOPs? Good luck om elk opkomend platform de hand om te draaien om ItsMe te ondersteunen) en niet de oplossing voor het probleem.

It's not that I don't understand the EU legislative and regulatory approach. It's not that I don't understand what collection of lies you've been sold about why the DSA is a good idea. It's not that I have any love for any of the sites designated as VLOPs or am defending any of their actions.

..oder wenn auf X massenhaft KI-Fakeaccounts unwahre Behauptungen zu Wahlen aufstellen würden, wäre das vermutlich ein solches Risiko. Auch andere Dinge wie Revengeporn auf großen Pornoplattformen kann so etwas sein. Dass sie damit umgehen, müssen die VLOPS dokumentieren. Wie genau? Ihr Bier.

📊 The #DSA data access portal is live, and VLOPs/VLOSEs have begun publishing their data catalogues.

Nun ist unser Beispiel Bluesky mit 26 Millionen Nutzern weltweit ein kleiner Schmetterlingsfisch. Er ist von überschaubarer Relevanz.

Die Gesetzgeber (siehe oben) sind zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass in der EU besonders große Anbieter auch eine besonders große Verantwortung treffen solle: #VLOPS.

dear journalism, they are not your friends, everything ‘vlops’ have made for you has been suboptimal, and the integration of these tools into their trillion dollar businesses is not a cause for you to protect them by signing an NDA

"Meta-owned WhatsApp to face EU's strictest digital rules soon. WhatsApp would become the first messaging app service to fall under the EU's online governance rules for large platforms, thanks to the popularity of its public channels" #DSA #VLOPS www.euractiv.com/news/meta-ow...

Der Digital Services Act (DSA) zur Regulierung “digitaler Dienste” – z.B. Social Media Plattformen – gilt für die „sehr großen“ Plattformen (VLOPs) schon seit August 2023. Seit vergangenem Samstag gilt der DSA auch für alle anderen betroffenen Dienste sowie die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten.

The US Admin falsely claims that the DSA only applies to US companies. Here's a list. You can see it also applies to some Chinese companies. Zalando and Booking are EU companies. Pornhub is Canadian 🇨🇦 digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/...
