    Enabling Research with Publicly Accessible Platform Data: Early DSA Compliance Issues and Suggestions for Improvement
    (Weizenbaum Institut, 2024) Jaursch, Julian; Ohme, Jakob; Klinger, Ulrike
    The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) requires very large online platforms and search engines (VLOPs) to provide publicly accessible data to researchers meeting certain requirements (Article 40(12)). While some platforms have taken laudable steps to implement such data access opportunities, serious concerns remain about full compliance with the DSA in this regard. This is reflected in the European Commission’s effort to request information from 17 VLOPs on how they comply with Article 40(12). Currently, researchers from academia and civil society still face significant hurdles when trying to request publicly accessible data from VLOPs. To provide the Commission and Digital Services Coordinators with insights for their oversight work, this paper offers an analysis of early experiences with Article 40(12) data access requests and suggestions for improvement. It is based on conversations with researchers and on data collected through the DSA 40 Data Access Tracker.

    Response to the Consultation on the Delegated Regulation on Data Access provided for in the Digital Services Act
    (Weizenbaum Institute, 2024) Seiling, Lukas; Ohme, Jakob; Klinger, Ulrike
    This response provides feedback on the Delegated Regulation on Data Access provided for in the Digital Services Act. It is informed by a variety of exchanges with empirical platform researchers across Germany and Europe. The first section highlights clarifications and proposed procedures for non-public data access which are practical, workable or welcomed by scientists for other reasons. The second section outlines further opportunities for clarification, additions, or modifications to the draft text, particularly regarding the data access procedure, the data access portal, the types of data, as well as the documentation and modalities of data access.

    Was die Wissenschaft im Rahmen des Datenzugangs nach Art. 40 DSA braucht: 20 Punkte zu Infrastrukturen, Beteiligung, Transparenz und Finanzierung
    (Weizenbaum Institute, 2023) Klinger, Ulrike; Ohme, Jakob
    Artikel 40 des Digital Services Act (DSA) schafft erstmals eine klare Regelung, die der Wissenschaft Unabhängigkeit von den einzelnen Plattformen und eine verbesserte Datenqualität gewährt und so sicherstellt, dass gesellschaftlich relevante Aspekte der Digitalisierung angemessen, konsistent und unabhängig untersucht werden können. Er ermöglicht, schneller und passgenau auf neue Fragestellungen und Entwicklungen evidenzbasiert zu reagieren und so zu einer fairen, digitalen Öffentlichkeit beizutragen, die sowohl gesellschaftliche Risiken als auch ihre Chancen in den Blick nimmt. Dieses Policy Paper zielt darauf, den erwarteten Delegated Act der EU-Kommission als auch das Gesetzgebungsverfahren zum deutschen Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz zu informieren und Notwendigkeiten aus Sicht von Plattformforschenden zu formulieren. Diese Sichtweise ist von größter Bedeutung, da von der Expertise wissenschaftlicher Akteure die Erforschung der systemischen Risiken abhängt.

    What the Scientific Community Needs from Data Access under Art. 40 DSA: 20 Points on Infrastructures, Participation, Transparency, and Funding
    (Weizenbaum Institute, 2023) Klinger, Ulrike; Ohme, Jakob
    Article 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) creates for the first time a clear regulation that grants science independence from individual platforms and improved data quality, thus ensuring that socially relevant aspects of digitization can be investigated appropriately, consistently, and independently. It makes it possible to respond more quickly and accurately to new issues and developments in an evidence-based manner, thus contributing to a fair, digital public sphere that considers societal risks and opportunities. This policy paper aims to inform the expected Delegated Act of the EU Commission as well as the legislative process for the German Digital Services Act (Digitale Dienste Gesetz) and to formulate necessities from the perspective of platform researchers. This perspective is of utmost importance, as research on systemic risks depends on the expertise of scientific actors
