Commission launches public consultation on rules governing researchers’ access to data from online platforms under the Digital Services Act
The Commission has launched a public consultation on the draft delegated act on access to data from online platforms by accredited researchers under the Digital Services Act.
With the Digital Services Act, researchers will for the first time have access to data to study systemic risks and assess risk mitigation measures of online platforms in the EU. It will allow the scientific community to play a key role in monitoring and safeguarding the online environment.
The draft delegated act clarifies the procedures on how researchers can access data from very large operating platforms and search engines. It also sets out rules on data formats and data documentation requirements. Finally, it sets up the Digital Services Act Data Access Portal, a one-stop shop for researchers, data providers and data processing centres to exchange information on data access requests. The consultation follows a first call for contributions.
The consultation will be open until 26 November 2024. After collecting public views, the Commission plans to adopt the rules in the first quarter of 2025.
