The European Commission will soon unveil its landmark Digital Services Act draft law, that will set out a vision for the future of online content responsibility in the EU. We’ve joined up with Twitter, Auttomattic, and Vimeo to provide recommendations on how the EU’s novel proposals can ensure a more thoughtful approach to addressing illegal and harmful content in the EU, in a way that tackles online harms while safeguarding smaller companies’ ability to compete.<\/p>\n

As we note in our letter,<\/p>\n

\n

“The present conversation is too often framed through the prism of content removal alone, where success is judged solely in terms of ever-more content removal in <\/em>ever-shorter periods of time. <\/em><\/p>\n

Without question, illegal content \u2013 including terrorist content and <\/em>child sexual abuse material \u2013 must be removed expeditiously. <\/em>Yet by limiting policy options to a solely stay up-come down binary, we forgo promising <\/em>alternatives that could better address the spread and impact of problematic content while <\/em>safeguarding rights and the potential for smaller companies to compete. <\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed, removing <\/em>content cannot be the sole paradigm of Internet policy, particularly when concerned with the <\/em>phenomenon of \u2018legal-but-harmful\u2019 content. Such an approach would benefit only the very <\/em>largest companies in our industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

We therefore encourage a content moderation discussion that emphasises the difference <\/em>between illegal and harmful content and highlights the potential of interventions that <\/em>address how content is surfaced and discovered. Included in this is how consumers are <\/em>offered real choice in the curation of their online environment.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We look forward to working with lawmakers in the EU to help bring this vision for a healthier internet to fruition in the upcoming Digital Services Act deliberations.<\/p>\n
