Last month, the Polish president vetoed the long-overdue bill implementing the #DSA using some bizarre, unclear arguments that referred to a proposal no longer on the table. h.

re bubbles bursting, I went recently deep into the allegories of tulipmania, here's one by one of the brueghels

Before the Commission published the first fine against X under the DSA in December, the NYT reported that EU regulators considered “fining X more than $1 billion”.

The now public decision reveals how the Commission arrived at €120 million - and what the ceiling for future fines is.

In the recent EUCO Debrief TEPSA - Trans European Policy Studies Association, you can find my (very, very) critical comment on the #DigitalOmnibus Proposal.

I argue that the initiative undermines the fundamental values of the EU without enhancing the competitiveness of European operators. 🧵

Thank you!

3️⃣ Finally, the proposed changes are built on a false dichotomy between competitiveness and fundamental rights; instead, these values should be treated as complementary.

2️⃣ Secondly, the proposal creates more uncertainty than clarity, which will only create a greater burden for small and medium-sized companies.

1️⃣ First, because it will be applicable to all operators, including non-European ones, it is unclear how it will incentivise the European players.

In Critical Condition – How To Stabilize Researcher Data Access? | TechPolicy.Press Mark Scott and LK Seiling discuss the struggle for researcher access to social media data and an alternative future where transparency is seen as a civic good.

Two years into Europe’s Digital Services Act, data access for researchers is on life support, write Mark Scott and LK Seiling. Yet an alternative future is possible—one built on openness, interoperability, and platforms that treat data access as a civic and scientific good.

Complaint v Ireland to European Commission re process appointing ex-Meta lobbyist as Data Protection Commissioner Ireland's appointment process lacked procedural safeguards against conflicts of interest and political interference and may be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity

We filled a complaint against Ireland to the European Commission today.
Ireland has appointed an ex-Meta lobbyist as its new Data Protection Commissioner.
This will be interpreted by the tech industry as a signal of impunity.
The European Commission must intervene.

TikTok and Meta breaching the DSA, EU Commission finds Both TikTok and Meta are breaching the DSA, according to EU Commission. The platforms are not transparent enough with their data for research use, and Meta makes reporting illegal content and appealing moderation decisions too difficult.

I was just once again going through these, and it was for me shocking how it’s the same discussion all over again, not only in the context of the GDPR but also the DSA, DMA, DACT, DGA and the AI Act.

Nothing new but also not sure whether we learned much during these 30 years.

and so sources, many dating back to the late 1980s-mid1990s, on the DPAs scarce resources! This quote from @douwekorff.bsky.social ended up as an inspiration for my work: the DPAs “see themselves much more like advisors, facilitators, and conciliators than as policemen: referees rather than Rambos”

For example, the Commission initially opposed introducing the rules because it would “hurt the businesses”. Eventually, the narrative has shifted after the debate was reframed into “internal market building” (according to a very interesting book by @abenewman.bsky.social thanks to the DPAs).

One of the most interesting tropes I found when doing my phd research on the enforcement of the gdpr was when I was going through old papers and books published around the time the 1995 Data Protection Directive had been introduced. 🧵
