[Air-L] Continuing our webinar series to explore the DSA together!

[Tom Divon]

Dear community members!

Intrigued by the Digital Services Act (DSA) but hesitant to delve into it
alone? Let us do it together!

*After a successful first session - *Catalina Goanta, Associate Professor
in Private Law and Technology at Utrecht University, Taylor Annabell,
Postdoctoral researcher for the ERC-funded HUMANads project at Utrecht
University, and myself, Tom Divon, PhD researcher from the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem - *will continue unpacking the basics of the DSA
for media scholars.*

Recently, regulation has garnered significant attention in media studies,
yet deciphering complex legislation remains challenging. The Digital
Services Act, a crucial piece of legislation, redefines platform liability
within the EU. Amidst the optimistic expectations about its impact, our
goal is to demystify and clarify the realities by delving into the
underlying legal standards.

*What is the plan?*
*Webinar 1, November 30* - we focused on providing a comprehensive overview
of the characteristics, goals, and framework of the DSA and placing it in
the context of prior European legal structures. *The recording of this
session will be released in the coming days!*

This week:
*Webinar 2, December 7, 16:00 CET *-  our focus will be on the DSA
provisions *Recommender Systems* and *Terms of Service* with a specific
emphasis on compliance by TikTok. We aim to analyze how the DSA influences
TikTok's platform documentation and the contractual relationship between
the platform and its European Union consumers.

Next week:
*Webinar 3, December 14, 16:00 CET* - our focus will be on the explicit
provisions regarding transparency and enforcement as embodied in the DSA
Transparency Database.

We warmly invite researchers from all corners of the globe to join us,
regardless of their familiarity with the law or the DSA, *and whether or
not they attended our first session.*
