Panel: Approaches to DSA data access
Friday 24 May, 08:45-10:00
For a long time, the opacity of algorithmic systems was a barrier for those who sought to scrutinize them. Studies of online platforms often depended on voluntary cooperation of the providers of those platforms. The Digital Services Act (DSA) changes this situation. Its Article 40 sets out how certain researchers can access certain data to study systemic risks and the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
To obtain access, researchers must demonstrate that they are capable of fulfilling the data security and confidentiality requirements corresponding to each request and to protect personal data. Their request must describe the appropriate technical and organisational measures they have put in place.
In this session, we invite a panel of experts and the audience to discuss possible approaches researchers can take to meet those conditions, as set out in Article 40(8) DSA.
Moderator: Emilia Gómez, Lead Scientist, ECAT
