Brave New Data Access World: What the Digital Services Act (DSA) Means for Researcher Access to Digital Platforms

Hybrid event [A5, 6, Room A231 + Zoom]
Dezember 03, 2025, 13:45-15:15

Abstract
The European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) marks a turning point for the study of digital platforms by establishing a legal framework for researcher access to platform data, including from major social media companies. Article 40 of the DSA outlines how researchers can request such access, opening unprecedented possibilities for empirical investigations into the digital public sphere. Yet, the practical implementation of this right to data access raises important challenges. Questions of eligibility, the scope of accessible data, and the ethical and technical standards required for secure processing are central to understanding what this new regime will mean in practice. This talk provides an overview of the DSA’s data-access provisions, explains their relevance for the research community, and discusses what opportunities—and limitations—emerge for studying systemic risks, algorithmic effects, and platform governance. It reflects on early experiences with Article 40 implementation and considers what it will take to build a sustainable infrastructure for independent, policy-relevant research on digital platforms in Europe.
