Appeals Center will fund ongoing operations by charging tech companies 95 euros for every case
LONDON - Social media users in the Europe an Union will soon have a new forum to challenge decisions by platforms to remove posts and videos for breaking their rules or leave up others that may violate them.
EU officials in Brussels wanted to give EU citizens a way to challenge any decisions made by Big Tech companies as they sought to balance the right to free speech against the goal of curbing online risks.The center will hear appeals from users or groups located in the EU about “everything from violence and incitement to hate speech to bullying and harassment,” CEO Thomas Hughes said.
It’s initially dealing with Facebook, YouTube and TikTok users because it wanted to start with the biggest platforms, with plans to add others later. The Appeals Center’s decisions, in contrast, aren’t binding and will be limited to whether content such as a post, photo or video violates each platform’s rules.
“We don’t know a lot about the appeals center and how it will work, but moderation enforcement under the DSA has promise that other approaches do not,” said spokesman Ben Wyskida. While the DSA “hasn’t been perfect ... it is still far and away superior to anything in the United States.”
