We have no idea what content is most viral on YouTube, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, or X – because they refuse to share basic data. On the DSA’s Birthday (Oct 4th) we've led a “mass data access request” along with @npub16pr8...crsg and DSA40 Data Access Collaboratory, where a series of ~20 orgs requested daily data on their top 1,000 most-viewed posts in EU Member States. Every single one refused. Join us in demanding platform transparency:

#Discrimination through AI in recruitment is a lose-lose scenario that cannot be solved on a technical level alone. ☝️ In order to prevent discrimination by AI-based recruiting systems, we worked with an interdisciplinary European consortium from academia, industry, and civil society (#FINDHR) to develop solutions that counteract this type of discrimination and therefore developed specific recommendations for policymakers:

 The US government has threatened sanctions if the EU does not weaken its digital laws in favor of American tech companies. In an open letter to #EuropeanCommission President Ursula von der Leyen, we urge the EU Commission to respond decisively to these threats.

Non-consensual sexualization tools #NSTs are apps and websites that generate sexualized images of real people, against their consent. Often called #NudifyApps, they don’t only create fully nude images but can also include non-consensual “undressing” via images in underwear or swimsuits – as seen recently on the X chatbot #Grok. We need your help to track them down. If you see apps, websites, or accounts that create or spread sexualized deep fakes, report them to us:

Spanish NGO @npub13fhs...9dct recent investigation reveals the case of #QuantusSkin, an AI system for early detection of skin cancer. The Basque Health Service, Osakidetza, plans to roll it out in 2025, promising faster diagnoses. But the reality is alarming: Quantus Skin misses nearly 1 in 3 melanoma cases, and was trained almost entirely on images of white patients. For people with darker skin, that means even less accuracy, delayed treatment, and a higher risk of deadly outcomes.
