Episode notes
Risk Reports as Compliance
- DSA risk reports are primarily compliance exercises, not necessarily revealing major issues.
- They offer a valuable starting point for comparing risk assessments and pushing for more transparency.
Reports Guiding Research
- The reports help researchers identify areas for deeper investigation, especially regarding internal documentation.
- Accessing this documentation would provide a more precise view of platforms' risk assessment processes.
Compelling Transparency
