Coimisiún na Meán opens review of online platforms' compliance with EU Digital Services Act

Coimisiún na Meán is concerned that people are having difficulty reporting illegal content to online platforms. Under the Digital Services Act, online platforms are required to act on reports of illegal content in line with the law. This concern comes following an initial review, alongside information gathered from An Coimisiún's Contact Centre and complaints passed on by other European regulators. An Coimisiún is now initiating a formal review of online platforms' systems, to ensure that the platforms are complying with their obligations under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). Under the DSA, online platforms must have easy to access and user-friendly ways for users to report illegal content (Article 16 of the DSA). They must also have a clear and accessible point of contact for users to contact them (Article 12). Coimisiún na Meán is responsible for making sure that all platforms with their EU headquarters in Ireland follow these rules, while working closely with the European Commission and other online safety regulators across Europe. Coimisiún na Meán has now issued formal requests for information to a range of platforms for further comprehensive detail on their approach to reporting options for illegal content and points of contact for users. Once the information gathering phase is complete, Coimisiún na Meán will engage with the platforms to ensure that their reporting mechanisms and point of contacts comply with the requirements of the DSA. Where concerns remain, Coimisiún na Meán can issue a compliance notice directing platforms to address any shortcomings identified in their systems and processes. If this does not lead to changes and improvements, An Coimisiún can open a formal investigation. If the investigation leads to a finding of non-compliance, Coimisiún na Meán can impose sanctions, such as a fine. An Coimisiún can also enter into a binding commitment agreement with a platform, in which the platform gives undertakings to bring its behaviour into line with the law. John Evans, Digital Services Commissioner at Coimisiún na Meán, said, "The DSA is a landmark law aimed at creating a safer and fairer online environment for users. However, its effectiveness for Irish and EU citizens hinges on the full implementation of its provisions by platforms. Of the complaints we have from people in Ireland and across Europe about online platforms, one in three are about problems when reporting illegal content online. We are intervening now to ensure that platforms follow the rules so that people can effectively exercise their rights under the DSA.'' Niamh Hodnett, Online Safety Commissioner at Coimisiún na Meán, said, "We are committed to using the full range of powers available under our Online Safety Framework to hold platforms to account for keeping people safe online. Through the DSA, our upcoming Online Safety Code and the EU Terrorist Content Online Regulation, we are working towards a digital landscape where adults and children can go online without fear of being harmed by the content or behaviour they come across. When people see illegal content, they should report it to the platform where they saw it, and if they aren't satisfied with the platform's response or if they can't find an easy way to report the content, they should get in touch with us." The platforms being contacted at this point are: Platform Article 12 Article 16 TikTok Yes Yes X Yes Yes - where there is no overlap with ongoing European Commission investigation YouTube Yes Yes Meta Yes No, subject to an ongoing European Commission investigation LinkedIn Yes Yes Temu Yes Yes Pinterest Yes Yes Shein Yes No, subject to an ongoing European Commission review Etsy Yes Yes Dropbox Yes Yes Hostelworld Yes Yes Tumblr Yes Yes

Jo Garland is a Senior Account Director at Webhelp. She is based in Surrey in the UK, close to London.

Jo graduated in 2021 with a distinction so the research was clearly appreciated by the course supervisors. Jo used the experience of the pandemic to focus her research on how the CX and BPO environment changed because of the move to a work-from-home and hybrid business model. We have often talked about the corporate experience of WFH on this podcast, but in this interview Jo goes into more detail on how WFH looks from a research perspective. How did office-based employees emulate the experience of working in a team when they all had to work from home? What worked and what is essential now that this is now normal? How can managers with remote teams ensure that they enable the creation of teams, no matter how the team is constructed  and how are we building a flexible future for CX?

Cian Maher, Head of Voice Technology and Infrastructure for global communications business DigitalWell, discusses his top technology trend predictions for the new year and what he believes are driving them What do hybrid work, security concerns and the boom of all things relating to artificial intelligence (AI) have in common? They've all dominated the contact centre and communication technology conversations of 2023. As organisations adapted to a hybrid work environment, the significance of secure and efficient communication tools became paramount. Simultaneously, the integration of AI into various facets of business operations reshaped how companies approach customer service, data management, and predictive analytics. The interplay of these three factors - hybrid work, security and AI - has set the stage for a technological landscape that continues to evolve rapidly. So, as we kick off the new year, will 2024 be another groundbreaking chapter in the realm of technology - and exactly what can we expect? Top technology predictions for the new year and beyond Anticipated trends in the field of communications specifically - although there are many similarities across industries - stem from businesses pursuing cost efficiency, talent optimisation and increased service reliability. With these drivers in mind, thoughts immediately turn to AI and machine learning, with the 2023 generative AI boom likely to bring significant developments in the AI and automation space, such as: Automating routine tasks: A trend we've already seen unfold in 2023, but expect to see an increase in popularity in the coming year, businesses utilising contact centres, for example, have been leveraging AI to automate simple tasks and even provide 24/7 support for routine inquiries that don't require complex understanding. This, of course, not only reduces the need for extensive human resources, but frees up employees' time to handle more complex issues that demand a human touch. As well as addressing the challenge of talent acquisition and retention in contact centres, the use of AI in this way really paves the way to a more streamlined and efficient customer service model, allowing customers to interact with businesses, seek information, and make minor requests independently. Companies operating in regulated industries, such as telecoms, may also explore the use of AI automating tasks related to licensing, paperwork, and communication with regulatory bodies in different countries. Expansion of self-service capabilities: Alongside automating routine tasks, I also predict an expansion of self-service capabilities in AI as businesses continue to drive operational efficiency and aim for more reliable and resilient services. On this note, I can see AI handling tasks such as contract extensions or service renewals on the cards, or even being involved in more complex, proactive areas, like identifying and understanding trends related to faults, learning from patterns in repeated customer reports, and predicting potential issues in the network before they escalate. Enhanced social media monitoring: We expect to see AI used more for monitoring social media, emails, live chat, and other communication methods. From sentiment analysis to flagging harmful content and notifying relevant parties, businesses - especially those in customer service and brand protection - will likely benefit hugely from these capabilities as they become more accurate and powerful in 2024. Language translation services: For businesses that operate globally, with customers and partners who speak different languages, AI could be a game-changer when it comes to addressing language barriers. AI has the potential to facilitate live translation services, acting as a dynamic translator during conversations, or enabling speech-to-text and text-to-speech functionalities to bridge language gaps. Augmented and Virtual Reality in unified communications: If AI could contribute to the integration of aug...
