The European Commission has held its fourth roundtable with civil-society organisations on implementation of the Digital Services Act.

Enforcement and access were central

Discussion covered enforcement activity, requests for platform data, compliance monitoring and the experience of trusted flaggers. These mechanisms determine whether outside researchers and public-interest groups can test platform claims.

A strategy for civil society

The Commission also connected the meeting to its wider strategy for civil society. The public account records topics and participation rather than binding new enforcement decisions.

What to monitor

Useful indicators include response times for data access, reasons for rejection, the treatment of trusted-flagger reports, publication of enforcement evidence and support for smaller organisations that lack legal or technical staff.
