The EU Kids Act arrived without an impact assessment. Asha Allen of CDT Europe writes that a law with far-reaching fundamental rights implications cannot be shaped outside democratic due process.

A Safer Internet Should Not Come with Democratic Shortcuts
EU's push for a safer internet for children must not come at the expense of the democratic scrutiny needed to get digital regulation right, writes Asha Allen.

The Algorithm, Apparently Chronological
A German court has explicitly named Mastodon and Bluesky as positive examples of social networks that could retain hosting protection. It gets Bluesky’s feeds wrong, but its reasoning about user control might be more useful than it realises.

Mixed feelings about the WSocial × Streamplace coalition. This isn't open, collectively owned infra for Europeans. It's the European Commission itself broadcasting into the Atmosphere. Mandatory government ID for that isn't congruent with indiesky, and I'm not sure yet about their political agenda.

Was ich seit Wochen immer wieder erklaere & auch zentraler Bestandteil des geloeschten Videos der AI Monaco Konferenz war: @anna.wsocial.eu & #Wsocial wollen nicht Social Media besser machen, sie wollen an die Werbe-Milliarden, die in der EU verfuegbar sind. Es wird nicht gelingen! #Wsocialpics
Screenshot eines Meetingprotokolls: W Social presented its expected future business model centred mainly around advertising built to be compliant with applicable EU legislation.

W Social also informed of ongoing efforts to establish media partnerships and attract content to the platform. They also presented an expected timeline of launch, with a planned launch event in May.

From today's FTM newsletter: www.ftm.eu/newsletters/...
How to make Ursula join your socials

How did W Social, the new European social network, get the Commission president to join – and effectively endorse – it just months after its launch? W Social’s selling points are its built-in ID verification system and a strict “no bots” policy. According to documents we obtained, its founders pushed the Commission hard in lobby meetings.

And just like that, von der Leyen was on board, according to an internal memo. Yet, why W Social made the cut – while more established and comparable European decentralised networks such as Mastodon didn’t – is unclear from the files.
