Podcasts about digital services act dsa

In der letzten Folge vor den Feiertagen drehen Justus Haucap und Rupprecht Podszun noch einmal richtig auf - mit Big Tech: Die Kommission hat mit einer Geldbuße gegen X (ehemals Twitter) wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Services Act (DSA), mit dem laufenden Google AdTech-Verfahren, einem neuen Verfahren gegen Meta wegen der Einbindung von KI in WhatsApp und einem Verfahren gegen Google wegen KI-Verstößen eine größere Ladung Geschenke für Wettbewerbsfreaks abgeliefert. Zum Auspacken haben sich die beiden Düsseldorfer Professoren einen Kollegen ins Studio geholt: Reinhold Kesler. Er ist Juniorprofessor für Ökonomie und Recht an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität und ein Datenfuchs. Ihm macht keiner ein X für ein U vor, denn Kesler schaut in die Daten, von Apple bis Temu. Das sind spannende Erkenntnisse. Der Gabentisch ist also prall gefüllt – mit den neuesten Fällen, Daten und Streitfragen aus der digitalen Wettbewerbswelt. So kann man ein Jahr mal enden lassen.Shoutout an den formidablen Producer, der auch 2025 wieder am Mischpult saß: Marc Feist!Das Podcast-Team von "Bei Anruf Wettbewerb" verabschiedet sich für dieses Jahr - wir wünschen allen Hörerinnen und Hörern viel Zeit über die Feiertage zum Nachhören verpasster Folgen.

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including  names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

Those who want respect, give respect.     Trump has just been chosen as ‘the most powerful person in Europe'. ‘ Politico reported: “Top EU officials tried to set the record straight Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump denounced Europe as a ‘decaying' group of countries ruled by ‘weak' leaders.

Europe doesn't know what to do'.” “European Council President António Costa said Europe and the U.S. ‘must act as allies' — and urged the Republican leader to show ‘respect'.   Costa is an unelected bureaucrat – he was not ‘elected', he was ‘appointed' by the same Globalist leaders that are polling 11% to 23% in their countries.

Although, it’s been noted that such sanctions would be highly unusual, since the U.S. is both a U.N. member and the host nation of the body that created the agency in 1949. Despite this, Trump previously reaffirmed that the U.S. would not fund UNRWA earlier this year. In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also referred to UNRWA as a subsidiary of Hamas: “UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it… The United Nations is here, we're seeing the work they're doing… They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA.

Ukraine’s constitution bars elections under martial law, but Zelenskyy signaled he’s willing to hold one anyway and asked the U.S. and European partners for help securing a wartime vote. “Since this question is raised today by the president of the United States of America, our partners, I will answer very briefly: Look, I am ready for elections,” he said. “Then, in the next 60 to 90 days, Ukraine will be ready to hold the elections.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

The court also agreed to consider whether presidents may dismiss FTC commissioners without cause. In the meantime, Slaughter will not be allowed to remain in office.

In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

1. European Union vs. Elon Musk and Free Speech The EU fined Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter) $140 million under the Digital Services Act (DSA) for failing to comply with transparency and moderation requirements. Ben and the Senator argue this is an attack on free speech, claiming the EU wants to impose censorship globally, including on American platforms. They highlight a letter from the EU in August 2024 urging Musk to censor content related to Donald Trump’s interview, framing it as an attempt to silence political discourse. The discussion emphasizes the contrast between U.S. First Amendment protections and Europe’s regulatory approach, warning of potential ripple effects on American free speech. There’s a call for the Trump administration to retaliate with sanctions against the EU, such as tariffs, to prevent foreign influence on U.S. speech norms. 2. Tucker Carlson’s Ties to Qatar Tucker Carlson’s visit to Qatar, where he interviewed the Prime Minister during the Doha Forum. Ben and Senator Cruz criticize Carlson for allegedly failing to ask tough questions about Qatar’s: Support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Funding of anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda, including protests on U.S. campuses. Lobbying efforts in Washington and influence campaigns targeting conservative figures. Restrictive policies on women’s rights. They express concern over Carlson reportedly buying property in Qatar, framing it as aligning with a regime hostile to U.S. interests. The commentary portrays Carlson as sympathetic to authoritarian leaders (similar to his interviews with Putin and Iran’s president), undermining American values and Trump’s foreign policy.

On Friday, the European Commission (the executive arm of the European Union, or EU) announced that it is fining the social media company X $140 million for breaching transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The European Commission accused the U.S.-based social media company of deceptive use of its “blue checkmark” validation feature, lack of advertisement transparency, and failure to provide access to public data. X owner Elon Musk responded to the European Commission's announcement of the fine by calling the post “Bullshit.”Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.You can subscribe to Tangle by clicking here or drop something in our tip jar by clicking here.

Le réseau social X a été condamné à une amende de 120 millions d'euros par l'Union européenne pour plusieurs violations du Digital Services Act (DSA), la nouvelle réglementation européenne destinée à encadrer les grandes plateformes numériques.Trois manquements majeurs sont reprochés à X.Premièrement, l'UE estime que le système du “blue checkmark” est trompeur. Le badge bleu, autrefois utilisé pour certifier des comptes authentiques d'intérêt public, est désormais accessible à n'importe quel abonné payant. Selon la Commission, cela crée de la confusion et augmente les risques d'usurpation d'identité ou de diffusion de fausses informations.Deuxièmement, X n'a pas respecté les obligations de transparence publicitaire imposées par le DSA. La plateforme est tenue de maintenir un registre public récapitulant les publicités diffusées, leurs commanditaires et les paramètres de ciblage utilisés. Or l'UE considère que ces informations ne sont pas suffisamment accessibles ni complètes, ce qui pose problème pour la surveillance démocratique, notamment avant des élections.Troisièmement, la Commission reproche à X d'avoir restreint l'accès aux données publiques pour les chercheurs agréés. Le DSA oblige pourtant les très grandes plateformes à permettre l'analyse indépendante de l'impact social de leurs contenus, par exemple en donnant accès aux données relatives aux vues, aux partages ou aux mentions “j'aime”. X a limité cet accès de manière jugée injustifiée, empêchant les travaux de recherche prévus par la loi.Ces trois infractions ont été chiffrées par la Commission : environ 45 millions d'euros pour le caractère trompeur du badge bleu, 35 millions pour le manque de transparence publicitaire, et 40 millions pour l'obstruction à l'accès des chercheurs aux données de la plateforme.Cette sanction est symboliquement importante : c'est la première grande amende infligée au titre du Digital Services Act. Elle envoie le message que les plateformes numériques, même géantes, doivent se conformer aux règles européennes de transparence, de sécurité des utilisateurs et de responsabilité en matière de diffusion des contenus.

X krijgt de langverwachte eerste boete onder de Digital Services Act (DSA), van 120 miljoen euro. Het advertentieregister is niet in orde en ook de blauwe vinkjes die te koop zijn, zorgen voor misleiding en imitatiefraude. X-baas Elon Musk zegt in zijn reactie dat de EU afgeschaft moet worden en zijn Head of Products Nikita Bier reageerde met het verwijderen van het advertentieaccount van de Europese Commissie zelf. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Het advertentieregister van X is niet transparant genoeg, niet goed doorzoekbaar en niet betrouwbaar. Volgens de Europese Commissie is dat wel nodig als we met z'n allen oplichting en nepadvertenties willen voorkomen. Er wordt nog onderzoek gedaan naar andere regels onder de DSA die X mogelijk overtreedt. X kan nog in beroep gaan tegen de boete.

ETS-2Europoseł Prawa i Sprawiedliwości Jacek Ozdoba w Radiu Wnet skrytykował politykę klimatyczną Unii Europejskiej i zaznaczył, że Polska powinna „twardo powiedzieć stop” projektom, które uderzają w obywateli i gospodarkę.Głównym tematem rozmowy był system ETS-2 (ang. Emission Trading System 2) – czyli planowane rozszerzenie unijnego handlu emisjami CO₂, które obejmie nie tylko przemysł, ale też transport i budownictwo. W praktyce oznacza to dodatkowe opłaty za paliwo, gaz i ogrzewanie domów.To nie jest żadna rewizja, tylko PR Donalda Tuska. ETS-2 trzeba wyrzucić do kosza. To kolejne opodatkowanie codziennego życia Polaków – paliwa, ogrzewania, wszystkiego. Politycy Platformy głosowali za tym w Parlamencie Europejskim, a teraz udają, że chcą to zmienić– mówił Ozdoba.Jak przypomniał, nawet niewielki wzrost ceny za tonę emisji CO₂ może przełożyć się na wyższe rachunki w całej gospodarce.To zabawa finansistów. Handlują emisjami, a zwykli ludzie płacą więcej. Jeśli cena CO₂ wzrośnie do 100 euro, węgiel, gaz i paliwa podrożeją o połowę– wyjaśnił.Polityk podkreślił, że Polska ma prawo zawiesić wdrożenie ETS-2, powołując się na sytuację geopolityczną i bezpieczeństwo energetyczne.Państwo objęte skutkami wojny może odstąpić od celów klimatycznych. My powinniśmy to zrobić. Nie możemy być chłopcem do bicia, który wypełnia wszystkie zobowiązania, gdy inni je łamią– zaznaczył.Umowa MercosurOzdoba odniósł się również do unijnej umowy Mercosur, regulującej handel między UE a krajami Ameryki Południowej.To katastrofa dla Europy. Produkcja rolnicza i przemysł zostaną przeniesione do Ameryki Południowej, gdzie nie ma takich norm środowiskowych jak w UE. Niemieckie koncerny na tym zarobią, a polscy rolnicy i przedsiębiorcy będą bankrutować– ocenił.Według niego umowa faworyzuje największe gospodarki, a zwłaszcza niemiecki przemysł samochodowy i spożywczy.Europa stanie się rynkiem zbytu dla taniej żywności i towarów z Ameryki Południowej. Rolnictwo to bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe – nie możemy go oddać– dodał.DSA - cenzura w sieci?Europoseł ostrzegł również przed krajowym wdrożeniem rozporządzenia Digital Services Act (DSA), które ma regulować treści publikowane w internecie.W polskiej wersji DSA rząd Donalda Tuska chce dać urzędnikom prawo do zdejmowania treści z sieci. To będzie powrót do urzędu cenzury. Niewygodny materiał może zniknąć, a wrócić po kilku miesiącach – wtedy, gdy już nikogo nie będzie obchodził– mówił.Jak dodał, PiS określa ten projekt mianem Acta 3, nawiązując do wcześniejszych unijnych prób ograniczania wolności w sieci.To bardzo niebezpieczne rozwiązanie dla wolności słowa. Tusk chce przykryć ten temat, ale Polacy muszą wiedzieć, że chodzi o realną kontrolę internetu– stwierdził Ozdoba.

In Episode 145 des c't-Datenschutz-Podcasts nehmen die Holger und Joerg die Regulierung von Social-Media-Plattformen unter die Lupe. Als Gast haben sie sich den Rechtsanwalt und Social-Media-Experten Dr. Thomas Schwenke eingeladen. Thomas, der gerade ein Buch zum Thema "Recht für Online-Marketing und KI" veröffentlicht hat, erklärt gleich zu Beginn: Der Begriff "Social Media" sei überholt. Plattformen wie TikTok oder Instagram entwickelten sich immer mehr zu "algorithmischen Medien", bei denen der passive Konsum von Inhalten im Vordergrund stehe,und nicht mehr der soziale Austausch. Hauptthema der Diskussion ist die Regulierungswelle der EU, die mit Gesetzen wie dem Digital Services Act (DSA) und dem Digital Markets Act (DMA) versucht, die Macht der Tech-Konzerne zu begrenzen. Ein aktuelles Beispiel ist die neue Verordnung zur Transparenz politischer Werbung (TT-Verordnung). Sie schränkt das gezielte Ausspielen von Werbung, das sogenannte Microtargeting, stark ein. Die Reaktion der Konzerne ließ nicht lange auf sich warten: Sowohl Meta als auch Google kündigten an, wegen der neuen, komplexen Regeln künftig keine politische Werbung mehr in der EU schalten zu wollen. Die Experten sind sich uneins, wie wirksam diese vielen EU-Gesetze wirklich sind. Während Holger argumentiert, dass die EU die Konzerne durchaus zum Handeln zwingt – etwa bei der Einholung von Einwilligungen oder der Anpassung ihrer Bezahlmodelle –, bleiben Thomas und Joerg skeptisch. Sie kritisieren, dass viele Nutzer mit den komplexen Einwilligungs-Bannern überfordert seien und dass das Geschäftsmodell des Trackings im Kern unangetastet bleibe. Besonders ernüchternd fällt die Bilanz bei den viel beworbenen Schadensersatzklagen gegen Meta aus. Holger zitiert Zahlen, die der ehemalige baden-württembergische Datenschutzbeauftragte Stefan Brink in einem anderen Podcast teilte: Von rund 2200 Klagen wegen der Business Tools von Meta wurden 70 Prozent komplett zugunsten des Konzerns entschieden. In 97 Prozent der Fälle lag der zugesprochene Schadensersatz bei maximal 500 Euro. Die medienwirksamen Urteile mit hohen Schadensersatzzahlungen seien absolute Ausnahmen. Ein Urteil des Landgerichts München I stützt diese skeptische Sicht. Das Gericht wies die Klage eines Nutzers ab, der wegen der Übermittlung seiner Daten in die USA Schadensersatz forderte. Die Richter argumentierten, wer einen globalen US-Dienst wie Facebook wissentlich nutze, müsse mit einem Datentransfer rechnen. Sich später darüber zu beschweren, sei widersprüchliches Verhalten. Das Fazit der Runde: Der Kampf gegen die Datenkraken ist zäh und die Erfolge sind oft kleiner, als es den Anschein hat.

It's been three years since Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA) came into effect, a sweeping set of rules meant to hold online platforms accountable for how they moderate content and protect users. One component of the law allows users to challenge online platform content moderation decisions through independent, certified bodies rather than judicial proceedings. Under Article 21 of the DSA, these “Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement“ bodies are intended to play a crucial role in resolving disputes over moderation decisions, whether it's about content takedowns, demonetization, account suspensions, or even decisions to leave flagged content online.One such out-of-court dispute settlement body is called Appeals Centre Europe. It was established last year as an independent entity with a grant from the Oversight Board Trust, which administers Oversight Board, the content moderation 'supreme court' created and funded by Meta. Appeals Centre Europe has released a new transparency report, and the numbers are striking: of the 1,500 disputes the Centre has ruled on, over three-quarters of the platforms' original decisions were overturned, either because they were incorrect, or because the platform didn't provide the content for review at all.Tech Policy Press associate editor Ramsha Jahangir spoke to two experts to unpack what the early wave of disputes tells us about how the system is working, and how platforms are applying their own rules:Thomas Hughes is the CEO of Appeals Center EuropePaddy Leerssen is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam and part of the DSA Observatory, which monitors the implementation of the DSA.

Wir sprechen mit Professor Dr. Burkhard Hess. Er ist Professor für Prozessrecht im Institut für Zivilverfahrensrecht an der Juristischen Fakultät der Universität Wien. Gegenstand des Gespräch sind insbesondere die Bestimmungen zur Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) im Digital Services Act (DSA) und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Contentmoderation großer Plattformen.Links:https://zvr.univie.ac.at/mitarbeiterinnen/hess-burkhard/https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/2065/oj/enghttps://www.hagueacademy.nl/

Op social media gaan talloze video's rond van de moordaanslag op de conservatieve politieke activist Charlie Kirk, die inmiddels miljoenen keren bekeken zijn. Volgens socialmediaplatformen had dat niet moeten gebeuren, omdat er geautomatiseerde filters zijn die dat soort filmpjes zouden moeten tegenhouden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Socialmedia-experts zeggen tegen onder andere The New York Times dat ze nog nooit eerder beelden van een moord zo snel verspreid hebben zien worden op social media. Gebruikers weten geautomatiseerde contentfilters te omzeilen, door de video's van de moord op Kirk bijvoorbeeld te versnellen of door tekst over de beelden heen te leggen. Verschillende socialmediaplatformen hebben inmiddels gereageerd op de video's. Zo laat X weten dat er hard gewerkt wordt om de video's van het platform te krijgen. Een woordvoerder van Google, dat achter YouTube zit, zegt dat de video's zo veel mogelijk achter leeftijdsfilters geplaatst worden en zo nodig verwijderd. Tegenover The Verge verwijst een woordvoerder van Meta, de uitbater van onder andere Instagram en Threads, naar de algemene voorwaarden die luiden dat gewelddadige video's niet gepost mogen worden - hoewel dat dus wel gebeurt. Onder andere X en Meta worden op dit moment onderzocht door de Europese Commissie onder de Digital Services Act (DSA). Die verplicht platformen om genoeg te doen tegen schadelijke content en om jongeren daartegen in bescherming te nemen. De video's van Kirks moord kunnen een rol spelen in de onderzoeken.

Meta en TikTok hebben een rechtszaak over de Digital Services Act (DSA) tegen de Europese Commissie gewonnen, maar verder zien de bedrijven daar niks van terug. Beide platformen waren uit op een compensatie omdat ze een te hoge toezichtsvergoeding betaald zouden hebben, maar die mag de Europese Commissie ondanks de uitspraak houden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Bedrijven die onder de DSA vallen betalen de toezichtsvergoeding jaarlijks aan de Europese Commissie, die dat geld gebruikt om de wet te handhaven. Meta en TikTok beweerden bij de rechter in Luxemburg dat de berekeningsmethode voor de hoogte van het bedrag niet klopte. Volgens de rechter is dat wel zo, maar heeft de Europese Commissie niet de juiste juridische basis om de vergoeding op die manier te vragen. Daarom heeft de rechter de Europese Commissie een jaar de tijd gegeven om een juridische basis te vinden of om er een te maken. Volgens een woordvoerder is dat vrij gemakkelijk gedaan met behulp van een zogeheten uitvoeringsbesluit, waarmee EU-wetgeving nader uitgewerkt kan worden.

De Nederlandse digitale mensenrechtenorganisatie Bits of Freedom heeft een kort geding tegen Meta aangespannen om verplichte algoritmes op Instagram en Facebook. Volgens de burgerrechtenorganisatie maakt Meta het gebruikers te moeilijk om geen algoritmische aanbevelingen op hun tijdlijn te zien. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Europese gebruikers moeten door de Digital Services Act (DSA) sinds afgelopen jaar kunnen kiezen of ze hun tijdlijn willen laten personaliseren door algoritmes. Die keuze hebben Instagram- en Facebook-gebruikers ook, maar volgens Bits of Freedoms is het niet makkelijk om de algoritmes uit te zetten zodat er enkel posts van gevolgde accounts weergeven worden.

US-KongressberichtEin Kommentar von Rainer Rupp.Die Tatsache, dass die Redefreiheit in der EU bedroht ist, weiß inzwischen jeder politisch interessierte Mensch, der nicht die Vorgaben der Eliten und ihrer medialen Sprachrohre wiederkäut, sondern versucht, sich unabhängig eine Meinung zu bilden. Dem wollen die demokratisch nicht legitimierten EU-Bürokraten in Brüssel einen Riegel vorschieben, denn nur Meinungen, die von ihnen und ihren zahllosen, gut bezahlten „Fakt-Checker“-Unternehmen als zulässig geprüft wurden, dürfen weiterverbreitet werden. So extrem ist es aktuell zwar noch nicht, aber in Europa sind wir auf dem besten Weg dorthin. Und auch die Amerikaner haben gemerkt, dass auch sie von dieser EU-Zensur betroffen sind.„Die Europäische Union will die Meinungsfreiheit kontrollieren. Nicht nur in Europa. Auch in den USA“,alarmierte der bekannte US-Medienkritiker Matt Taibbi jüngst seine Leser und verwies auf einen aktuellen Bericht des US-Kongresses vom 25. Juli 2025. Dort heißt es, dass Europas Zensurgesetze „immer aggressiver“ werden. Sie könnten bestimmen, was Amerikaner online sagen dürfen. Das sei alarmierend.Der Bericht stammt vom Justizausschuss des US-Repräsentantenhauses. Jim Jordan, ein Republikaner aus Ohio, leitet ihn. Sein Team untersuchte den Digital Services Act (DSA), das „Digitale Dienstleistungsgesetz“ der EU. Hinter diesem harmlosen Namen versteckt sich das wichtigste Gesetz der EU zur Kontrolle von Online-Inhalten. Unter Androhung hoher Strafen zwingt die EU mit diesem Gesetz Internetplattformen wie Meta, X oder Google, „illegale Inhalte“ zu löschen.Doch was „illegal“ ist oder nicht, das definiert die EU selbst und dehnt sie mit Gummibegriffen wie Hassrede oder Desinformation sehr weit aus. Auch Inhalte, die angeblich „Schaden“ verursachen könnten, also im Konjunktiv, fallen darunter.Die Amerikaner wurden auf die Ausweitung dieser EU-Maßnahmen auf ihr Land erst durch einen Vorfall im August 2024 aufmerksam. Der Franzose und oberste Zensor in der EU-Kommission in Brüssel, Thierry Breton, damals EU-Kommissar für den Binnenmarkt, drohte X-Chef Elon Musk wegen dessen geplantem Live-Interview mit US-Präsidentschaftskandidat Donald Trump.Das Interview sollte in Washington stattfinden. Also zwei Amerikaner, ein US-Unternehmen und die Lokalität war die USA und doch war EU-Kommissar Breton sehr besorgt, weil Menschen in der EU sich auch das Interview auf „X“ anhören oder anschauen konnten. Denn das Interview hätte ja „illegale Inhalte“ verbreiten können, die in der EU verboten sind, weil sie von den Zensoren womöglich als „Hassrede“ oder „Desinformation“ klassifiziert würden oder weil die psychologische „Schäden“ hätten verursachen können. Breton sprach von „Spillovers“, also Auswirkungen über Grenzen hinweg. Er drohte Elon Musk mit einer „äußerst wachsamen“ Reaktion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Torniamo ad occuparci del “compenso per copia privata” perché sono state proposte le nuove tariffe che incidono su smartphone, computer, hard disk, ecc. C'è chi chiede una riduzione (o l'eliminazione) di questo contributo che ha ormai poco senso nell'era dello streaming. Enrico Pagliarini ne parla con Gianfranco Giardina, direttore del magazine digitale DDay.it.Da tempo si discute su come rendere obbligatoria la verifica dell'età per accedere a siti e app vietati ai minori e su come tecnicamente effettuare il controllo. Questa settimana la Commissione Europea ha pubblicato le linee guida per la protezione dei minori nell'ambito del Digital Services Act (DSA) e messo a disposizione una prima app sui cui alcuni Paesi, fra cui l'Italia potranno iniziare una sperimentazione. Ne parliamo con Giovanni De Gregorio, docente di Diritto delle tecnologie presso l'Università cattolica portoghese di Lisbona.Infine ci occupiamo di applicazioni per rendere l'intelligenza artificiale generativa uno strumento integrabile nei processi aziendali.

In de Digital Services Act (DSA) staan nieuwe en strenge regels die gelden voor de online advertentiemarkt. Zo moet duidelijk zijn wie er achter een advertentie zit en moeten grote platforms zoals Facebook of YouTube een openbare database bijhouden van alle advertenties. Maar de online advertentiemarkt staat in de schaduw van Big Tech. Daardoor laat de handhaving van deze regels te wensen over. Volgens de DSA is de online advertentiemarkt namelijk een zeer groot onlineplatform, waardoor hier de strengste categorie aan regels opgaat. Het is een van de belangrijkste conclusies uit het onderzoek van onder andere Pieter Wolters, hoogleraar Burgerlijk Recht aan de Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen. Advertentienetwerken die advertenties tonen op websites en apps van derden, moeten dus ook beschouwd en behandeld worden als online platforms en zelfs VLOP's: Very Large Online Platforms. Het gaat dan om online diensten met meer dan 45 miljoen gebruikers per maand binnen de EU. Maar wat blijkt? Momenteel is nog geen van hen als zodanig aangewezen door de Europese Commissie.

Lawfare Contributing Editor Renée DiResta sits down with Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center; Dean Jackson, Contributing Editor at Tech Policy Press and fellow at American University's Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology; and Joan Barata, Senior Legal Fellow at The Future of Free Speech Project at Vanderbilt University and fellow at Stanford's Program on Platform Regulation, to make European tech regulation interesting. They discuss the European Union's Disinformation Code of Practice and its transition, on July 1, from voluntary framework co-authored by Big Tech, to legally binding obligation under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This sounds like a niche bureaucratic change—but it's provided a news hook for the Trump Administration and its allies in far-right parties across Europe to allege once again that they are being suppressed by Big Tech, and that this transition portends the end of free speech on the internet.Does it? No. But what do the Code and the DSA actually do? It's worth understanding the nuances of these regulations and how they may impact transparency, accountability, and free expression. The group discusses topics including Senator Marco Rubio's recent visa ban policy aimed at “foreign censors,” Romania's annulled election, and whether European regulation risks overreach or fails to go far enough.For more on this topic:Hate Speech: Comparing the US and EU ApproachesThe European Commission's Approach to DSA Systemic Risk is Concerning for Freedom of ExpressionThe Far Right's War on Content Moderation Comes to Europe Regulation or Repression?

Le mode vocal des intelligences artificielles s'impose comme la tendance du moment, une étrange histoire d'IA vengeresse, bientôt un système de paiement sur X et un raté embarrassant de l'IA au sommet de l'État français.

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a landmark European regulation which seeks to protect Europe's values and democratic principles in the online space, and to help counter the dissemination of illegal and harmful online content. The DSA entered into force in November 2022 and began to fully apply across the EU from February 2024. At this hybrid event, a panel of experts discusses the implementation of the DSA to date and assesses the ongoing debates relating to various features of the DSA. The panel also discusses the opportunities and challenges that may lie ahead for the future of DSA enforcement. This event is organised in collaboration with the Economic Regulators Network (ERN), a cross-sectoral group of economic regulators in Ireland. The panel for this event include: John Evans, the Digital Services Commissioner,  Coimisiún na Meán Dr Eileen Culloty, Deputy Director of the DCU Institute for Future Media, Democracy, and Society (FUJO); Coordinator of the Ireland Hub of the European Digital Media Observatory Professor Natali Helberger, Distinguished University Professor of Law and Digital Technology, University of Amsterdam; Member of the project team at the Digital Services Act Observatory Irene Roche Laguna, Head of Unit, Coordination and Regulatory Compliance, DG CONNECT, European Commission The ERN is composed of Coimisiún na Meán, the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU), the Central Bank of Ireland, the National Transport Authority (NTA), and the Commission for Aviation Regulation.

Google en X zijn na Meta en Apple waarschijnlijk de volgende techbedrijven die op megaboetes van de Europese Commissie kunnen rekenen. Dat melden ingewijden aan persbureau Reuters. Meta en Apple kregen vandaag allebei een DMA-boete van de Europese Commissie van respectievelijk 200 en 500 miljoen euro. Niels Kooloos vertelt het allemaal in deze Tech Update. Er loopt op dit moment nog een DMA-onderzoek naar Google over de plek die eigen diensten krijgen in de zoekmachine. Zo zouden de prijsvergelijkers van Google sneller bovenaan de zoekresultaten verschijnen dan de prijsvergelijkers van de concurrentie. De boete die X kan verwachten wordt naar verwachting op basis van de Digital Services Act (DSA) uitgedeeld. Het platform zou namelijk te weinig doen tegen de verspreiding van illegale inhoud en desinformatie.

Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 28 mars 2025.Avec cette semaine :Thierry Breton, commissaire européen entre 2019 et 2024.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique en ligne Blick.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova.FAIRE ENTENDRE LA VOIX DE L'EUROPE, AVEC THIERRY BRETON Thierry Breton, en tant que commissaire européen au marché intérieur et des services entre 2019 et 2024, vous avez placé la régulation des plateformes numériques et la souveraineté technologique au cœur de votre action, avec l'ambition de doter l'Union européenne des moyens de défendre son autonomie stratégique dans les secteurs clés tels que les données, l'intelligence artificielle, la 5G, la défense et la technologie spatiale.Votre passe d'armes avec Elon Musk illustre bien ces enjeux. Lorsque le patron de X (ex-Twitter) a diffusé une interview de Donald Trump, vous avez rappelé à Musk l'obligation de respecter le Digital Services Act (DSA), cette législation pionnière qui impose aux grandes plateformes de modérer les contenus et de lutter contre la désinformation. Mais cette bataille pour la souveraineté européenne ne se limite pas au numérique. Dans le secteur industriel, l'Europe s'efforce également de renforcer son autonomie stratégique. Le développement de Gaia-X, un projet de cloud européen, incarne cette volonté de sortir de la dépendance aux infrastructures américaines.Par ailleurs, le renforcement de la cybersécurité européenne devient une priorité stratégique avec la mise en place d'une certification rigoureuse pour les infrastructures numériques, la sécurisation des réseaux et des systèmes d'information, ainsi que le développement de stratégies d'intervention rapide en cas d'urgence qui ont permis la création de l'unité européenne conjointe de cybersécurité.En matière de défense, autre levier stratégique, l'Europe investit dans le Fonds européen de défense et met en œuvre le plan d'action sur la mobilité militaire pour développer une industrie militaire capable de rivaliser avec le complexe militaro-industriel américain.L'industrie spatiale européenne joue également un rôle clé. L'amélioration du lien entre espace, défense et sécurité devient cruciale pour assurer la résilience stratégique de l'Union face aux menaces hybrides et aux rivalités géopolitiques.Dans le domaine de l'énergie, la guerre en Ukraine a révélé les fragilités européennes face aux approvisionnements extérieurs. L'Europe doit accélèrer sa transition vers une indépendance énergétique à travers le Green Deal, qui mise sur le développement des énergies renouvelables et le renforcement de la production locale. Cette politique vise autant à sécuriser l'approvisionnement qu'à réduire l'influence économique des partenaires extérieurs, notamment américains.Thierry Breton, vous avez soutenu l'Europe ne doit plus être un simple marché ouvert aux intérêts étrangers, mais un pôle de puissance capable de défendre ses intérêts industriels, numériques et stratégiques. Qu'est-ce qui vous paraît, aujourd'hui, constituer le socle le plus solide de la construction d'une souveraineté européenne ?Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Digital-Experte Beckedahl zweifelt an der Wirksamkeit des Digital Services Act (DSA) gegenüber Meta. Die Trump-Regierung könnte auf hartes Durchsetzen des DSA mit einem Handelskrieg reagieren.

TikTok wordt door zeven Franse families aangeklaagd omdat het platform volgens hen nog steeds niet genoeg doet tegen schadelijke content. Volgens de families zijn TikTok-filmpjes over onderwerpen zoals zelfmoord en zelfbeschadiging de reden dat twee van hun kinderen een einde aan hun leven hebben gemaakt. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Volgens de advocaat van de families is de rechtszaak tegen TikTok uniek in Europa. Hoewel moederbedrijf Bytedance waarschijnlijk niet vreemd zal opkijken van de aanklacht. In de Verenigde Staten lopen er nu namelijk al honderden zaken tegen TikTok.  Op welke wetgeving de families zich gaan beroepen is nog niet duidelijk, maar het vermoeden bestaat dat de Digital Services Act (DSA) aangehaald gaat worden. Die schrijft namelijk voor dat een groot onlineplatform zoals TikTok maatregelen moet nemen tegen schadelijke praktijken op het platform.  Verder in deze Tech Update: Nvidia en Meta vragen aan het Amerikaanse hooggerechtshof om twee rechtszaken die zijn aangespannen door de aandeelhouders van de hand te doen See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Temu wordt kritisch bekeken door de Europese Commissie omdat de Chinese webshop mogelijk in strijd met de Digital Services Act (DSA) handelt. Zo zouden er illegale producten op het platform te koop zijn en zou Temu bewust verslavende algoritmes inzetten om meer spullen te verkopen. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Wanneer het onderzoek van de Europese Commissie is afgerond, is niet bekend. Om een boete te ontlopen die kan oplopen tot 6 procent van de wereldwijde omzet, heeft Temu wel de ruimte om maatregelen te nemen.  Dat lijkt het platform ook al te doen. Volgens perbureau Reuters wil Temu zich aansluiten bij een groep e-commerce-bedrijven die samenwerkt om de verkoop van illegale producten in de EU tegen te gaan. Onder die groep vallen onder andere Amazon, Alibaba en Nike.  Verder in deze Tech Update: Elon Musk zoekt naar financiering voor zijn AI-bedrijf in het Midden-Oosten  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textGoogle Testing Review Badge of Shame & More  in UK for Review Abuses:Google has rolled out a new review “badge of shame” and a new help document titled "Business Profile Restrictions for Policy Violations," introducing stricter actions for businesses engaging in deceptive review practices. Currently being tested in the UK, the policy includes a tiered system of penalties, such as preventing new reviews, unpublishing existing ones, and displaying a "badge of shame" for businesses caught with fraudulent reviews. This marks a shift in Google's approach, as they historically removed fake reviews without directly accusing businesses of wrongdoing. The penalties, though designed to improve review integrity, raise concerns about fairness, particularly for businesses that may be falsely flagged. Google has implemented an appeals process, offering business owners a chance to contest these restrictions. However, with previous experiences showing delays in review processes, some wonder how effective the system will be. This effort aligns with broader global regulatory pressures, such as the UK's push against fake reviews and potential influences from European legislation like the Digital Services Act (DSA).Google's Antitrust Travails: What's at Stake in the Latest Legal Battle?Google is currently facing its second antitrust trial, focusing on its ad-tech dominance. The trial, now in its second week, follows an earlier case where Google was found to be an illegal monopoly in search and text ads. This new case explores the workings of Google's ad exchange and network, with internal documents revealing questionable practices like taking premium cuts from advertisers. Central to the case is how the market is defined—if Google can argue for a broad market with competitors like Amazon and Facebook, it could escape further liability. However, if the market is viewed more narrowly, Google may face more significant consequences, including potential divestitures of its ad business.Beyond legal outcomes, this case, coupled with Google's aggressive internal strategies, is tarnishing the company's public image. Wall Street has already priced in potential legal losses, showing expectations of a major financial impact from a loss. Additionally, these trials may open the door to more lawsuits, including cases like Yelp's, which could bring greater visibility into Google's local search dominance.Digital Agencies Highlight Disconnect in Local Marketing Priorities:In a recent survey of nearly 300 digital agencies, a mismatch emerged between the services offered and what agencies perceive as client demand. Agencies commonly offer web design, social media marketing, and SEO, but client demand also includes email marketing and brand marketing—services not prioritized by many agencies. This gap raises questions about how well agencies understand their clients' evolving needs, particularly in small business marketing.Small businesses also show a surprising lack of attention to crucial tools like Google Business Profiles (GBP) and review management. Despite the importance of local search and reputation management, only a quarter of businesses actively manage their profiles, a disconnect made more mysterious given that business owners frequently use Google for their own research. The data suggests a broader education gap around how these digital tools influence visibility and growth, with many small businesses over-relying on social media while underestimating the value of search and reputation management.The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, aSubscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

Thierry Breton a claqué la porte de la Commission Européenne. Ce chevalier blanc des droits européens contre les géants du numérique en faisait-il trop ? Thierry Breton claque la porte de la Commission Européenne, en froid avec la présidente Ursula von der Leyen. Fervent défenseur de la souveraineté technologique européenne, Thierry Breton a oeuvré ardemment à la défense de ce qu'il estimait être les intérêts des Européens. Son nom restera attaché à des textes majeurs, tels que le Digital Services Act (DSA), le Digital Markets Act (DMA) ou encore l'IA Act sur l'intelligence artificielle. Cependant, sa ligne dure en matière de régulation n'a pas été sans controverse, perçue comme excessive au risque de freiner l'innovation. Et maintenant, que va-t-il se passer ? -----------♥️ Soutien : https://donorbox.org/monde-numerique

TikTok has agreed to withdraw a rewards feature that raised concerns about its potential to encourage excessive screen time, particularly among children, the European Union's executive commission said. It was the first resolution of an investigation under the 27-country EU's sweeping Digital Services Act (DSA), which went into effect in February and aims to ensure a "safe and accountable online environment" by regulating large digital platforms. TikTok made the commitment without conceding the feature violated the Digital Services Act, officials said. The commission has however ruled that the withdrawal is legally binding, which "sends a clear message to the entire social media industry," said Margrethe Vestager, European Commission for digital affairs. "Design features on platforms with addictive effects put the well-being of their users at risk," she said in a statement. "That's why we have made TikTok's commitments under the DSA legally binding." The case involves TikTok Lite, a low-bandwidth version of the app released in Spain and France. It allowed users to earn points for things like following creators, liking content, or inviting friends to join TikTok. The points could be exchanged for Amazon vouchers and gift cards on PayPal. TikTok said rewards were restricted to users 18 years and older, who had to verify their age. Users could watch up to one hour a day of videos to earn rewards, which were capped at the equivalent of one euro ($1.09) a day. The commission opened an investigation in April due to concerns that TikTok has not done a diligent assessment required under the act of the feature's potential "addictive effect," especially for children, "given suspected absence of effective age verification mechanisms on TikTok." The resolution of the TikTok Lite investigation does not affect an earlier probe launched against TikTok focusing on concerns about the protection of minors, advertising transparency, data access for researchers, and mitigating risks of "behavioral addiction" and harmful content.

Due to this latest escalation, most commercial aviation has been sporadically halted throughout the region, and Israel has declared a state of emergency for the next 48 hours.France: Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, was arrested by French authorities over the weekend. The arrest was made in conjunction with alleged violations of the European Union mandates within the Digital Services Act (DSA). AC: This arrest was made under many of the same conditions and allegations that other social media platform owners have faced, who do not abide by the EU's censorship mandates. Durov is being prosecuted under the same blanket of threats that the EU has issued to Elon Musk and other social media giants. Consequently, the founder of Rumble, Chris Pavlovski, immediately departed Europe for his own safety, due to the precedent that has now been set.Red Sea/HOA: Houthi targeting continues as before, with some change in tactics. Details of the targeting of the M/V Sounion have come to light, namely that the targeting was possibly not carried out by a cruise missile or unmanned vessel, but by explosive charges being affixed to the side of the vessel by Houthi militants in small craft. This theory is supported by the vessel reporting being shadowed for some time by militants in small craft. AC: Though the use of improvised Limpet mines to target vessels is not a new concept, (if true) this does mark a change in Houthi tactics, which over the past few months have become more broad and technically skilled.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – The Pentagon is moving forward with the latest round of fleet reduction efforts, and is reportedly planning to mothball 17 more vessels. This fleet reduction is allegedly due to the dwindling numbers of Merchant Mariners that are able to help crew and maintain various classes of support vessel. Most of the vessels marked for placement into “extended maintenance” are Fast Transport ships, and a few replenishment vessels.AC: Of note, two expeditionary seabase vessels (the USS Lewis Puller and the USS Herschel “Woody” Williams) are on the chopping block, which signals the desperation of the fleet. The Puller is a brand-new vessel (being commissioned only in 2017) and has seen only seven years of service before being mothballed. The “Woody” Williams is even newer, only being commissioned in 2020, and having seen only four years of service.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At this juncture, it would be safe to conclude that the Middle East peace talks have not been successful.The strikes in Lebanon are probably the largest operation carried out by Israel in Lebanon in decades, with well over 45 different sites/towns reportedly being struck in some way. Right now, it is not clear as to if some sort of Israeli ground operation is planned (though this potential appears to be unlikely for the time being). Consequently, the potential for ground forces to become involved (to some degree) cannot be dismissed in the future as Israeli operations expand.What's less clear at the moment is which party is to blame for this latest serious escalation. If Israeli intelligence did indeed intercept the locations of dozens of pre-staged rocket sites, the question remains regarding how Hezbollah was able to launch hundreds of rockets within just a few minutes of the first Israe

Guest post by Mike Harris, Partner, Cyber Security, Grant Thornton With the first independent auditor reports as part of the Digital Services Act due this month, major social media and search engine companies face a new era of transparency as part of an increased regulatory stance in Europe. Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act will help tackle disinformation, boost safety of minors online and dilute Big Tech's market power. Different regulatory philosophies are still being ironed out, with Ireland's principals-based approach contrasting with continentalEurope's more prescriptive enforcement. For those who have observed the financial sector over the past two decades, watching tech companies understand their obligations under Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) may evoke a sense of deja vu. Since the turn of the millennium, Europe has seen significant developments in financial regulation, particularly in response to the 2008 economic crisis. Frameworks such as the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) and European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) sought to increase competition and offer greater consumer protection as regulators navigated a landscape of competing interests and complex ecosystems. The early days of these rules were marked with fraught exchanges as companies worked their way through implementation. Before long, they just became another cost of doing business. Tech companies are experiencing a similar shift in regulatory philosophy from a light touch to a more proactive, stringent approach as the DSA and DMA follow GDPR and the Network Information Security Directive amid a broader trend towards tighter regulation. As we approach the first independent auditor reporting period for very large online platforms (VLOPs) and very large online search engines (VLOSEs) such as Meta and Google under the new digital regime, we are in a similar spot marked by gradual adaptation, responses to emerging challenges, and a balancing act between innovation and oversight. Time to show your cards After a long, complex gestation involving various stakeholders, including the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and the European Commission, the proposed regulation is a new reality as tech companies enter their first reporting periods. For tech companies, this represents a significant shift as they now shoulder the burden of showing compliance with strict rules on content moderation, advertisingtransparency, and greater user choice to control what they see. The DSA and DMA are part of a single set of new rules that apply across the entire EU to regulate digital services such as online marketplaces, social networks, content-sharing platforms, app stores, and online travel and accommodation platforms. The DSA specifically targets online intermediary services by imposing strict obligations, with additional rules and obligations imposed on very large online platforms and search engines with more than 45 million monthly users in the EU. On the other hand, the DMA focuses on very large digital platforms designated as gatekeepers providing digital services allowing for a fairer business environment for users and new entrants into the market. Tech companies have been actively working to comply with the new regulations. They have changed or stopped activities they have done previously while engaging with the Commission to provide information and documentation following formal requests for information. The DMA demands that platform giants like Apple, Alphabet, and Meta become more open to competition by imposing a new set of legal requirements on more than twenty of their core platform services (CPS). Companies designated under the DMA as "gatekeepers" must make significant changes to their operations, including not discriminating against similar services or products offered by third parties on their platform. Failure to comply with the Regulations can lead to signif...

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, May 30th, 2023. Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized? Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show! Mark your calendars for October 11th-14th, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, our Rowdy Christian Merch, and a Sabbath Feast to wrap up the occasion. Maybe an infant baptism while we’re at it! Visit fightlaughfeast.com for more information! https://nypost.com/2023/05/28/mccarthys-debt-ceiling-deal-with-biden-comes-up-short-on-vow-to-reign-in-irs/ McCarthy’s debt-ceiling deal with Biden comes up short on his vow to rein in IRS It struck a chord with voters, wary of funding a new “army” of armed IRS agents to harass middle-class families and small business owners and abuse their powers to target political dissidents, Soviet-style. “Our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents,” McCarthy vowed. “You see, we believe government should be to help you, not go after you.” Sure enough, the House voted 221-210 to repeal the extra IRS funding. “Promises made,” the newly minted speaker said Jan. 9, banging the gavel on the first bill of the Republican-controlled House. What about promises kept? In the debt-ceiling deal outlined Sunday and due to be inked later this week, McCarthy has allowed the lion’s share of that extra IRS funding to remain unmolested: preserving $78.1 billion of the $80 billion. As rebel GOP Rep Dan Bishop put it: “So there will be 85,260 more IRS agents rather than 87,000 to eat you alive. Big win.” Overpromising and underdelivering is what turns voters off the GOP. You don’t mount a powerful six-month fear campaign about 87,000 new, armed IRS agents ready to break down people’s doors, and then meekly capitulate at the first sign of resistance. Even if those fears were exaggerated, your credibility rests on delivering a lot more than 2% of what you promised. In any case the fears about a weaponized IRS targeting Biden’s opponents are very real. If anything, the IRS is worse today than it was during the Obama administration, when Lois Lerner presided over the targeted harassment of Tea Party groups and other conservatives. Not a single IRS employee was held accountable for the scandal. Lerner retired on a full pension without even a slap on the wrist. This is the same IRS which went after journalist Matt Taibbi last December, three weeks after he started reporting on the so-called “Twitter Files,” which revealed that censorship on the social-media platform had been coordinated by federal government agencies such as the FBI and CIA. On March 9, when Taibbi was testifying in Congress about, ironically enough, the weaponization of the federal government, IRS agents showed up unannounced at his New Jersey home. The IRS file on Taibbi was opened the day he posted his ninth and most explosive Twitter file, detailing how agencies including the Pentagon and the State Department had colluded with Twitter to stifle dissent. It was Christmas Eve, a Saturday, which shows what an unusual priority it was for an agency that normally goes to sleep for two weeks over Christmas and whose standard work week is Monday through Friday. Under questioning from Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, the IRS has claimed it had concerns about “identity fraud” with Taibbi’s 2018 and 2021 tax returns, and that he was sent two letters before the home visit. Yet Taibbi says he and his accountant never received any letters. Even more “unnerving” as Taibbi puts it, was the fact that an IRS case agent had compiled a dossier on him which included personal information such as his voter registration records and whether he had a concealed-weapons permit or a hunting or fishing license. Unlike Hunter Biden, Taibbi didn’t owe the IRS any taxes and in fact was due a refund. And yes, this is the same IRS which removed its entire investigative team from the Hunter Biden case on DOJ orders after two senior agents complained about DOJ interference. https://thepostmillennial.com/blm-co-founder-loses-multi-platform-warner-brothers-deal-after-delivering-no-content-on-contract?utm_campaign=64487 BLM co-founder loses multi-platform Warner Brothers deal after delivering no content on contract In October 2020, 39-year-old Black Lives Matter co-founder and former leader Patrisse Cullors signed a multi-year contract with Warner Bros Television Group to create content for the entertainment giant, but the studio quietly ended then relationship last year with no material produced, reports the New York Post. On Friday, a source familiar with the situation told the outlet, "The studio signed an overall deal with BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors at some point in 2020" but the "Deal expired at end of October 2022." "The deal unfortunately did not result in any produced shows," the source added. The agreement was a multi-year, multi-platform deal in which Cullors would produce original material, including scripted comedies and dramas, animated shows, and documentary series, that would focus on black stories. The content would go out on the distributor's broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. Variety first reported on the deal in 2020 but did not disclose its value. Previously, Cullors said in an interview that she was working on material for Warner Bros, including documentaries focused on reparations and social mobility of black Americans as well as a scripted program on marijuana. Patrisse Cullors, who helped found BLM in 2013, stepped down from the organization after a real-estate scandal emerged in May 2021 when it was revealed she spent $3.2 million on four different homes in Georgia and California. Soon after more reports started to emerge of Black Lives Matter leadership using company funds for personal luxury. Upon stepping down, Cullors claimed she was doing so in order to focus on her book and TV deal. In April 2022, Cullors said that 990 tax forms required for charities were "triggering" and that the forms were being "weaponized" against organizations like hers. The IRS 990 is a routine document charities must fill out annually to disclose their financial activities. Now this!!! https://www.theepochtimes.com/eu-issues-waring-after-elon-musk-pulls-twitter-out-of-anti-disinformation-agreement_5296657.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport EU Issues Warning After Elon Musk Pulls Twitter Out of Anti-‘Disinformation’ Agreement Senior European Union officials were furious over the weekend after Twitter owner Elon Musk pulled the social media platform out of the bloc’s “Code of Practice,” which critics say is tantamount to a censorship regime. The EU’s internal market commissioner, Thierry Breton, wrote that Twitter left the bloc’s Code of Practice, after reports claimed the platform would do so. Breton warned that Twitter would face some legal liabilities. “Twitter leaves EU voluntary Code of Practice against disinformation. But obligations remain. You can run, but you can’t hide,” Breton wrote. “Beyond voluntary commitments, fighting disinformation will be legal obligation under #DSA as of August 25. Our teams will be ready for enforcement.” An EU official also told Euractiv that the bloc is “waiting for this,” and “it was purely a matter of time” before reports surfaced that Musk would withdraw. The rules known as the Digital Services Act (DSA) require companies to do risk management, conduct external and independent auditing, share data with authorities and researchers, and adopt a code of conduct by August. The 19 companies that are subject to the rules include Alphabet’s Google Maps, Google Play, Google Search, Google Shopping, YouTube, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Amazon’s Marketplace, Apple’s App Store, and Twitter. The others are Microsoft’s two units LinkedIn and Bing, booking.com, Pinterest, Snap Inc’s Snapchat, TikTok, Wikipedia, Zalando, and Alibaba’s AliExpress. Breton said he was checking to see whether another four to five companies fall under the DSA, with a decision expected in the next few weeks. Breton singled out Facebook’s content moderation system for criticism because of its role in building opinions on key issues. Twitter had agreed earlier to a stress test, and Breton said he and his team would travel to the company’s headquarters in San Francisco at the end of June of this year to carry out the voluntary mock exercise. Breton didn’t detail what the test would entail. There are guardrails for content generated by artificial intelligence, like deep fake videos and synthetic images, which will have to be clearly labeled when they come up in search results, Breton said. He’s also said that under the Digital Services Act, violations could be punished with hefty fines of up to 6 percent of a company’s annual revenue. Platforms will have to “completely redesign” their systems to ensure a high level of privacy and safety for children, including verifying users’ ages, Breton said. Big Tech companies also will have to revamp their systems to “prevent algorithmic amplification of disinformation,” he said, saying he was particularly concerned about Facebook’s content moderation systems ahead of September elections in Slovakia. Now for my favorite topic… sports! https://www.foxnews.com/sports/actor-will-ferrell-to-portray-nfl-legend-john-madden-in-upcoming-feature-film-report Actor Will Ferrell to portray NFL legend John Madden in upcoming feature film Actor and comedian Will Ferrell will play the lead role of an upcoming film about NFL icon John Madden, according a report from Deadline. The movie "Madden" will be directed by five-time Oscar nominee David O. Russell, who previously served as director of the critically acclaimed film "Silver Linings Playbook," among others. The film is expected to touch on Madden's time as head coach of the Raiders, his television broadcasting career and how he became the creative force behind one of the most popular video game franchises of all-time. This project is independent of a separate limited series about Madden's life, with Tom Brady as executive producer, Deadline previously reported. It remains unclear when filming on "Madden" will begin. An official release date for the film has not been announced. New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch is listed as one of the "Madden" producers. It is widely expected the NFL "will embrace the feature film on one of the sport's most beloved figures," according to Deadline. Ferrell is a California native and attended the University of Southern California, where he studied sports information. He makes frequent appearances at USC Trojans football games and is a diehard Los Angeles Kings fan.
