London: Self-proclaimed free speech warrior Elon Musk<\/a>'s more unfettered version of Twitter<\/a> could collide with new rules in Europe, where officials warn that the social media<\/a> company will have to comply with some of the world's toughest laws targeting toxic content.
While the new digital rulebook means the European Union is likely to be a global leader in cracking down on Musk's reimagined platform, the 27-nation bloc will face its own challenges forcing Twitter and other online companies to comply. The law doesn't fully take effect until 2024, and EU officials are scrambling to recruit enough workers to hold Big Tech to account.
Known as the Digital Services Act<\/a>, the EU's sweeping set of rules aims to make platforms and search engines more accountable for illegal and harmful content including hate speech, scams and disinformation. They'll kick in next summer for the biggest digital companies like Google<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and TikTok<\/a> and then expand to all online services the following year.
Those standards are poised to run up against Musk's whipsawing policies at Twitter: He abruptly axed a group of advisers this week who address problems like hate speech, child exploitation and self-harm, halved Twitter's workforce and issued conflicting decisions about content moderation.
\"A lot can change in six months, but it sure seems like Twitter is lining up to be Europe's first major test case when it comes to enforcing the DSA,\" said John Albert of Berlin-based AlgorithmWatch, a nonprofit research and advocacy group.
Musk has called for \"freedom of speech, not freedom of reach,\" saying he wants to downgrade negative and hateful posts. The billionaire Tesla CEO considers the bloc's rules \"a sensible approach to implement on a worldwide basis,\" EU digital policy chief Thierry Breton recounted after a video call with Musk this month.
Other jurisdictions are far behind Europe. In the US, Silicon Valley lobbyists have largely succeeded in keeping federal lawmakers at bay, and Congress has been politically divided on efforts to address competition, online privacy, disinformation and more. Britain is working on its own Online Safety Bill, but it was recently watered down and not clear when it will be approved.
Musk's style of making ad hoc changes won't fly under the new European rulebook, experts said.
Twitter's disastrous rollout of paid \"verified\" blue checks likely would have triggered an EU investigation and possibly big fines because such major design changes wouldn't be allowed without a risk assessment, Albert said.
The premium service was abandoned last month after a flood of imposter accounts spread disinformation. It relaunched this week.
The abrupt disbanding of Twitter's Trust and Safety Council also would \"raise some eyebrows in Brussels,\" Albert said. Expert advisers aren't required under the EU rules<\/a>, but \"good-faith voluntary efforts\" show \"European regulators that you care about transparency and are invested in trust and safety,\" he said.
Musk's tinkering - including dropping enforcement of COVID-19 misinformation rules and granting amnesty to suspended accounts - has already alarmed European officials.
Musk's approach is \"a big issue\" that calls for \"more regulation,\" French President Emmanuel Macron told \"Good Morning America.\"
In Europe, \"you can demonstrate you can have free speech, you can write what you want. But there is responsibilities and limits,\" he said. Macron, who met with Musk in the US this month, tweeted that \"efforts have to be made by Twitter to comply with European regulations.\"
The bloc will require online companies to follow clear rules on dealing with illegal content and explain to users why the material was taken down or given a warning label. They will have to be transparent about the workings of their content moderation systems and recommendation algorithms, which suggest the next song, news story or product to users. They must let EU regulators review their efforts.
Breton, the EU's digital policy chief, said he reminded Musk about the penalties for violations, including fines worth 6 per cent of global annual revenue that could reach billions. Repeat violations could result in an EU-wide ban. Musk and Twitter didn't respond to messages seeking comment.
Musk is already \"backtracking on the absolutism\" of free speech by suspending the rapper formerly known as Kanye West for a swastika post, said Marietje Schaake, a former European Parliament lawmaker who's now international cyber policy director at Stanford University.
\"The problem is that there is a lot of hateful content below this threshold, which will make Twitter under Musk less safe and pleasant for women, minorities and people whose opinions are met with aggression,\" Schaake said.
To tackle such \"lawful but awful\" content that frequently bedevils content moderators, the EU will require extra scrutiny for the biggest online platforms - those with 45 million monthly users.
There's speculation Twitter might not qualify. It reported 238 million users before it was bought by Musk, who complained that the number of fake accounts was vastly understated. Companies have to report their user numbers to the EU by mid-February.
Big platforms will have to assess how they're dealing with \"systemic risks,\" such as harassment, election-related disinformation, hoaxes and manipulation during pandemics.
By the summer, the first changes stemming from the rules should start appearing via digital \"buttons\" on websites and apps so users can easily flag illegal content.
The wide-ranging rulebook also poses a challenge for regulators who need to hire enough enforcers. EU officials have estimated they will add more than 100 full-time staff by 2024 to enforce the DSA and other new rules on digital competition.
Each of the 27 EU countries also will have to hire more people to police smaller platforms and coordinate with Brussels. On top of that, tech companies need to recruit more compliance staff.
All three groups will be hiring for very specific and similar skill sets: experts who know how platforms and their algorithms work, have insight into sites' content moderation practices and have experience enforcing regulations.
The problem is they \"might end up competing for the same talents,\" said Rita Jonusaite, advocacy coordinator at EU DisinfoLab, a nonprofit group that researches disinformation.
There are concerns some European countries won't have the means and expertise to enforce the rules, especially if they're building skills in areas like disinformation from scratch.
\"Regulators need to train themselves and acquire capacity very quickly,\" Jonusaite said.
The EU's executive Commission has launched a recruitment spree for dozens of expert jobs, including legal officers, data scientists, technology specialists, and digital policy officers to help supervise the systems that online platforms use to combat illegal content such as terrorist or child sexual abuse material and to fight harmful posts like disinformation.
Meanwhile, Musk axed thousands of employees and many others resigned, including those in content moderation roles. It's unclear whether he plans to add staff to comply with Europe's rules.
\"As Musk is scrambling to both save money, comply with the law, and keep advertisers on board, the main question is whether he will dedicate the needed resources to monitor content at all,\" said Schaake of Stanford.
\"It is one thing to make a conscious decision to leave racist content up, it is another to have it be up unnoticed\" because teams monitoring content \"are simply not there,\" she said.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":96251656,"title":"U.S. to remove some Chinese entities from red flag list soon, U.S. official says","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/u-s-to-remove-some-chinese-entities-from-red-flag-list-soon-u-s-official-says\/96251656","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":96252858,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Musk's Twitter tweaks foreshadow EU showdown over new rules","synopsis":"While the new digital rulebook means the European Union is likely to be a global leader in cracking down on Musk's reimagined platform, the 27-nation bloc will face its own challenges forcing Twitter and other online companies to comply.

麝香对新规则的Twitter的调整预示着欧盟摊牌
而新的数字规则意味着欧盟(eu)可能是一个全球领先的打击麝香的重平台,欧盟27国将面临自己的挑战迫使Twitter和其他网络公司遵守。
伦敦:自称是言论自由战士Elon Musk更自由的版本推特可以用新规则碰撞在欧洲,官员警告说,在哪里社交媒体公司将不得不遵守一些世界上最严格的法律针对不良内容。
而新的数字规则意味着欧盟(eu)可能是一个全球领先的打击麝香的重平台,欧盟27国将面临自己的挑战迫使Twitter和其他网络公司遵守。法律没有完全生效,直到2024年,欧盟官员正忙于招募足够的工人举行大型科技股帐户。
被称为数字服务法案欧盟全面组规则旨在使平台和搜索引擎更负责非法、有害内容包括仇恨言论、诈骗和虚假信息。他们会踢在明年夏天最大的数码公司谷歌,脸谱网和TikTok然后扩大到所有网络服务。
这些标准将遭遇麝香起伏不定的政策在推特:他突然被一群顾问本周解决问题和仇恨言论一样,儿童剥削和自残,减半Twitter的劳动力和发行缓和冲突的决策内容。
“六个月可以改变很多,但它肯定看起来像Twitter是排队是欧洲的第一个主要测试用例执行时DSA,”约翰·艾伯特说柏林AlgorithmWatch,非营利组织研究和游说团体。
麝香呼吁“言论自由,而不是达到自由,”说他想降级消极和可恶的帖子。特斯拉的亿万富翁首席执行官认为欧元区规则”一个明智的方法来实现在全球基础上,”欧盟数字政策首席蒂埃里布列塔尼人讲述了本月与麝香视频通话后。
其他司法管辖区都远远落后于欧洲。在美国,硅谷游说者已经很大程度上成功地牵制联邦议员,和国会已经在努力解决政治分歧竞争,在线隐私,造谣等等。英国正在自己的网络安全法案,但它最近被淡化,不清楚什么时候会被批准。
麝香的临时改变风格不会飞在新欧洲规则下,专家说。
Twitter的灾难性的推出了“验证”蓝色检查可能会引发欧盟调查和可能大罚款因为等重大设计更改不会被允许没有风险评估,艾伯特说。
优质服务上个月放弃了,因为大量的骗子账户传播虚假信息。本周推出。
突然解散Twitter的信任和安全委员会还将“在布鲁塞尔引起一些人的质疑,”艾伯特说。专家顾问不要求下欧盟规定,但“善意自愿努力”显示“欧洲监管机构,你关心的透明度和投资在信任和安全,”他说。
麝香的修修补补——包括放弃执行COVID-19错误规则和特赦条款暂停账户,已经引起了欧洲官员。
麝香的方法是“一个大问题”,要求“加强监管,”法国总统阿长音符号告诉“早安美国”。
在欧洲,“你可以证明你可以有言论自由,你可以写你想要的。但是有责任和限制,”他说。长音符号,本月在美国会见了麝香,说“努力必须由Twitter符合欧洲法规。”
欧盟要求网络公司遵循明确的规则处理非法内容,向用户解释为什么材料拆卸或给予警告标签。他们必须是透明的运作内容审核系统和推荐算法,这表明第二首歌,新闻或产品给用户。乐动扑克他们必须让欧盟监管机构审查他们的努力。
布列塔尼人,欧盟的数字政策负责人表示,他提醒麝香对违规行为的处罚,包括罚款值得全球6%的年度收入可能达到数十亿美元。重复违反可能导致欧盟禁令。麝香和Twitter没有回复寻求置评的消息。
专制主义麝香已经“回溯”言论自由的暂停的说唱歌手原名坎耶·维斯特纳粹党所用的十字记号,说Marietje Schaake,前欧洲议会议员现在斯坦福大学国际网络政策主管。
”问题是有很多可恶的含量低于这个阈值,这将使Twitter在麝香少安全愉快的妇女,少数民族和人民的意见与侵略,“Schaake说。
应对这种“合法但可怕的”内容,经常困扰内容版主,欧盟将需要额外的审查为最大的在线平台——那些每月4500万用户。
有猜测Twitter可能不合格。它报告了2.38亿用户之前买的麝香,谁抱怨假账户的数量大大低估了。公司必须报告他们的用户数量在2月中旬欧盟。
大平台必须评估他们是如何处理“系统性风险”,比如骚扰、选举造谣,大流行期间恶作剧和操纵。
到夏天,第一个变化源于规则应该通过数字“按钮”出现在网站和应用程序,用户可以轻松地国旗非法内容。
广泛的规则也是一个挑战监管机构需要雇用足够的执法者。欧盟官员估计,他们将在2024年增加100多名全职员工执行DSA和其他数字竞争新规则。
每个27个欧盟国家也将不得不雇用更多的人警察小平台和协调与欧盟。除此之外,科技公司需要招聘更多的合规人员。
所有三组将招聘非常具体和类似的技能:专家知道平台及其算法的工作原理,了解网站的内容审核实践和经验执行规定。
问题是他们“可能会争夺同样的天赋,”丽塔Jonusaite说,倡导协调员欧盟DisinfoLab研究造谣的非盈利组织。
有人担心一些欧洲国家不会有手段和技术实施规则,特别是如果他们从零开始构建技能在虚假信息等领域。
“监管部门需要训练自己和获得能力非常快,“Jonusaite说。
欧盟执行委员会发起了疯狂招聘数十名专家的工作,包括法律官员,数据科学家、技术专家和数字政策官员帮助监督系统在线平台用来打击非法内容,比如恐怖主义或者儿童性虐待材料和对抗有害的帖子造谣。
同时,麝香被成千上万的员工和其他许多人辞职,包括那些内容适度的角色。目前尚不清楚他是否计划增加员工遵守欧洲的规则。
“麝香都争相省钱,遵守法律,并保持广告,主要的问题是他是否会把所需的资源监控内容,“斯坦福的Schaake说。
”是一回事,做一个有意识的决定离开种族主义内容,它是另一个被忽视”,因为团队监控内容“不,”她说。
