#DSA Enforcement Immediately! Take a moment to examine the tweet shared by Elad Simchayoff on X (formerly Twitter) at the end of this post. The horrifying events of October 7th serve as a stark reminder of just how perilous social platforms have become in this digital age, with X playing a prominent role in enabling these issues. It's challenging for most of us to recall a time when the rampant spread of anti-Semitism, fake news, defamation, hate speech, racism, and other harmful content was so extensive and unrestricted. This serves as a compelling reason to closely monitor how the European Commission responds to the shortcomings of X in terms of monitoring and preventing the dissemination of such content. This year saw the enactment of the Digital Services Act (DSA), which imposes several critical obligations on providers of online platforms. These include implementing an internal complaint handling system, enhancing safeguards for minors, prohibiting deceptive user interfaces, and promoting transparency in online advertising, such as revising website and platform terms and conditions. Additionally, providers are mandated to promptly act on authorities' notifications of illegal content and accord special consideration to reports from trusted flaggers. This is where European regulation comes into play—dedicated to preserving the principles of trustworthiness, transparency, and democratic values. However, it's alarming to note that X's actions not only fail to meet the requirements set forth by the regulation but also make it easier for such content to proliferate. Just a few weeks ago, on October 12th, the Commission initiated an investigation against X under the DSA (https://lnkd.in/d5jh62WJ). This action was prompted by indications received by the Commission's services regarding the alleged dissemination of illegal content and disinformation. To uphold an "open, democratic, and sustainable society," it is imperative for the Commission to impose substantial sanctions and penalties on this matter— and not sometime in the future but right now.

Using the information we gathered, The Markup then manually tested Instagram’s automated moderation responses on 82 new accounts and 14 existing accounts."

Did you know that every post and online interaction on social media is considered a public record? This means local governments like yours must navigate the complex terrain of keeping accurate records of all social media engagements. Without proper recordkeeping, there's a real risk of falling short of compliance, leading to potential legal and public trust issues. We're here to guide you through. @CivicPlus simplifies this process with our social media archiving solutions, ensuring that every piece of content — comments, metadata, and more — is meticulously recorded and easily accessible. #LocalGovernment #TrustAndTransparency #CommunityEngagement https://lnkd.in/gRrtW8K7

SCOTUS preserves Section 230 This decision on Section 230 ("Supreme Court rules for Google, Twitter on terror-related content") is a very important one--note that it's unanimous. I had written about this a few months ago, that this case was in consideration before the Court and a different outcome would have eroded the publisher-distributor liability safeguards of Section 230. This should make networks and online platforms more hands off in their approach to preserve their immunity and let the responsibility lie with the originator. Please see my previous post on this topic for a more extended discussion. https://lnkd.in/gcY_DpSp)
