Lots of regulation around misinformation and hate speech and what not, but no talk about actually regulating what people and companies can post and advertise on social media? Why not go after the source as well?
As far as I know AI moderation at that scale and accuracy isn’t possible at the moment, and I’m glad that they’re lighting a fire under these companies asses to figure it out, but I’m not convinced a single prong approach is the way to go to actually solve the problem.
Correct me if I’m missing something though, this sort of regulation isn’t my area of expertise.
The GDPR is based on privacy and doesn’t tackle misinformation specifically. You might mean the DMA as the other one, which is coming into enforcement soon, but that’s more around fair competition, not misinformation. Afaik the DSA is the only regulation from the EU that’s going after misinformation, but only on the platform side.
You should follow up with Reddit. They can extend by a couple months if the request is complex, but they should have notified you of this in 30 days. If they don’t respond you’ll have to reach out to your DPA (data protection authority) and put in a complaint.
The GDPR is just regulation, you have to make the complaint if you want your DPA to enforce it. They don’t know you’ve made the request unless you tell them.
No that’s the Digital Markets Act they where designed in conjunction but the DSA is introduced first, don’t know the timeline when the DMA will follow (hopefully soon and not be watered down in the meantime)
It’s already applicable, but this means that now the countrys have like 2 years if i’m not mistaken to actually enforce it. So we will the the effects in 2025.
So sometime during 2024 it will be in effect (applicable since may 2023, but after that 6 month for companies to make a case weather or not they are gatekeepers, 2 month for the eu to answer and tell the companies the verdict if they are a gatekeeper or not, and after that 6 month for the gatekeepers to comply, so if the companies strech the process out it will be here in juli 2024)
