Lots of regulation around misinformation and hate speech and what not, but no talk about actually regulating what people and companies can post and advertise on social media? Why not go after the source as well?
As far as I know AI moderation at that scale and accuracy isn't possible at the moment, and I'm glad that they're lighting a fire under these companies asses to figure it out, but I'm not convinced a single prong approach is the way to go to actually solve the problem.
Correct me if I'm missing something though, this sort of regulation isn't my area of expertise.
Can't tell either. Seems to be one piece of a broader policy, along with GRDP and another one coming up, which name I forgot
The GDPR is based on privacy and doesn't tackle misinformation specifically. You might mean the DMA as the other one, which is coming into enforcement soon, but that's more around fair competition, not misinformation. Afaik the DSA is the only regulation from the EU that's going after misinformation, but only on the platform side.
GRDP doesn't seem to work very well. I asked Reddit for my data on July the 1st. I still received nothing.
You should follow up with Reddit. They can extend by a couple months if the request is complex, but they should have notified you of this in 30 days. If they don't respond you'll have to reach out to your DPA (data protection authority) and put in a complaint.
The GDPR is just regulation, you have to make the complaint if you want your DPA to enforce it. They don't know you've made the request unless you tell them.
Can't you file a complaint or something?
Assuming they are from the EU, yes they absolutely can and should.
