I’m super excited to announce I'm part of an amazing team (<3 @williambrady.bsky.social @killianmcloughlin.bsky.social @mjcrockett.bsky.social) that just published a paper in @science.org on the role of outrage in spread of misinformation

Thank you!!
Audit Opinions: Despite the time delay, we have the advantage of reviewing these summaries alongside independent audit opinions on Articles 34 & 35. This dual perspective offers valuable insights into the effectiveness of current strategies and future improvements. 6/6
Feedback Delay: Feedback provided now will influence future assessments slated for 2026, since those due to be published in 2025 have already been completed. Patience will be key as there is a lot of collective work ahead towards refining these processes. 5/6
Expect Imperfections: With no prior regulatory guidance and as the first regulatory risk assessments in the Trust & Safety domain, these summaries will not meet all expectations. It's important to view them as initial steps in a long journey—the DSA is a marathon, not a sprint 4/6
Time Lag: These assessments reflect past risks, specifically from 2022/2023, as they were concluded in August 2023. Keep in mind that they capture historical data and you are unlikely to find recent elections discussed there. 3/6
These are summaries: Remember, these are not the full risk assessments themselves. The DSA mandates that companies only publish summaries, therefore expect an overview rather than exhaustive details. 2/6
DSA news: Risk Assessment & Audit results are public!
Find all risk assessments, mitigation plans, and audit results in our database: tremau.com/dsa-database/ A couple of things to keep in mind as you are reading these 1/6
