Programmes ERCArticle 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) allows researchers to request data from very large online platforms and search engines (full list here) to study ‘systemic risks’ in the European Union. Systemic risks, as outlined in Article 34(1), include issues amplified or generated by such platforms, like the spread of disinformation, its effects on democratic processes, cyberbullying, online harassment, harmful content exposure, and the impact on minors’ physical and mental well-being, among others.
Under a new Delegated Act, researchers can submit applications for previously undisclosed or under-disclosed data access to national authorities - Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs). The impact of this new legal provision could be extensive, and open new avenues for research.
Within this context, the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA) is reaching out to researchers conducting research on ‘systemic risks’ (ERC grantees or not). The ERCEA is planning a number of activities related to the DSA Art. 40 – such as the organisation of a small workshop on 22-23 October (with a web streamed part) and the production of relevant information material for researchers.
Researchers interested in this topic are invited to fill in this short survey.
