This blog post builds on our previous work on malicious semi-compliance, taking a deeper dive into the lengthy and burdensome reporting mechanisms platforms have designed to discourage users from reporting illegal content, despite the DSA’s requirement for user-friendly notice mechanisms.
Research is a core part of what we do. It involves identifying, uncovering, and explaining disinformation campaigns and networks, using open source investigation techniques (OSINT) and social media network analysis methodologies. We disseminate our findings via our partnerships with the media and leading experts in the field.
