#PlatformGovernance
Die EU zwingt X erstmals unter dem Digital Services Act zu Änderungen – inklusive 120 Mio. € Strafe und Anpassungen beim „Verifizierungs“-System. Ein wichtiger Präzedenzfall.
Aber: Solange Plattformen Verifikation, Werbungstransparenz und Datenzugang erst nach Druck korrigieren, zeigt das auch […]

📣New blog post📣
I summarize how social media platforms can influence all stages of the research cycle, and why control over data access amplifies this influence.
Based on a recent comment w/ @freiling.bsky.social (linked in the post).

Our #research magazine #encore shows where research is already making a difference beyond academia. One example from our #platformgovernance work: a code of conduct that helps make automated #contentmoderation fairer, more transparent & accountable.

Andrew Doyle and Joe Rogan map how free speech laws, platform moderation, and culture war politics are reshaping public life across the UK, US and Europe, from gender medicine to immigration policy. #FreeSpeech #Censorship #PlatformGovernance #CultureWars
As a shareholder, I submitted a question to be asked on the earnings call about how moderation, suspensions, and appeals impact engagement.

100M+ “verified neighbors,” a falling stock, and zero transparency don’t add up.
I’m a shareholder who wants Nextdoor to win—but trust, QA, and real conversations have to come first.

If the goal is to connect neighbors, why choose #Nextdoor at all? 🤔
I compared #Nextdoor and #Facebook in terms of UX, moderation, selling, ads, transparency, and real value.

Digg’s public launch isn’t just a nostalgia play.
It’s an experiment in whether intentional design, real moderation, and community norms can still matter in a platform economy dominated by scale and algorithms.

New paper alert! Alexandros Minotakis argues the EU's AI regulatory framework is dangerously fragmented, assuming harmony between labor and capital. The paper advocates for a worker-centred lens across all algorithmically managed workplaces. #PlatformGovernance journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Swiss government finally decided to move forward with its #DSA inspired communication platform bill, despite some trade-related issues with the current US regime...
Let's hope the proposal survives the public consultation and parliamentary debates.
