Between Anarchy and Censorship: Public discourse and the duties of social media. CEPS Paper in Liberty and Security in Europe No. 2019-03, May 2019
Social media platforms have become powerful enough to cause perceptible effects in societies on a global scale. They facilitate public discussion, and they work with excessive amounts of personal data – both activities affecting human rights and the rule of law. This specific service requires attention from the regulator: according to this paper, a new legal category should be created with clear definitions, and a firm delineation of platforms’ rights and responsibilities. Social media companies should not become responsible for third-party content, as this would lead to over-censorship, but they should have the obligation to create and maintain safe and secure platforms, on which human rights and the rule of law are respected. In particular, they should maintain the transparency and viewpoint-neutrality of their services, as well as protect the personal data of their users. The paper sheds light on the similarities and differences from traditional media, and sets out detailed policy recommendations
EMFA: lehetséges-e a hatalmi egyensúly?
Az EMFA által javasolt szabályozási modell sarokkövei a fĂĽggetlen mĂ©diahatĂłságok, amelyek egy Ăşj TestĂĽletben tömörĂĽlnek. Ez kapcsolná össze az uniĂłs elvek Ă©rvĂ©nyesĂtĂ©sĂ©t ellenĹ‘rzĹ‘ Bizottságot a tagállami, szuverĂ©n mĂ©diahatĂłságokkal. A hatĂłsági fĂĽggetlensĂ©g hiánya nemcsak az EMFA Ă©rvĂ©nyesĂĽlĂ©sĂ©t veszĂ©lyezteti, hanem az eurĂłpai sztenderdek fellazulásával is fenyeget. Bár az AVMS irányelv 30. cikke már 2020-tĂłl kötelezĹ‘en elĹ‘Ărja a fĂĽggetlensĂ©g kritĂ©riumait, nĂ©hány állam (Ăgy Magyarország) esetĂ©ben ezek egyáltalán nem vagy csak formálisan teljesĂĽlnek. Ez az elemzĂ©s felidĂ©zi, hogy a formális fĂĽggetlensĂ©g helyetti tĂ©nyleges fĂĽggetlensĂ©g vizsgálatára is lĂ©tezik már mĂłdszertan. Rámutat a fĂĽggetlensĂ©g jogi szabályozásának paradoxonjára, Ă©s arra, hogy a fĂĽggetlensĂ©g negatĂv Ă©rtelmezĂ©se (a valamitĹ‘l valĂł mentessĂ©g) helyett az egyenlĹ‘ távolságok elvĂ©nek alkalmazása tűnik az Ăşj eurĂłpai iránynak; eszerint a szereplĹ‘k kölcsönösen ellenĹ‘rzik egymást Ă©s egymás hatását ellensĂşlyoznák
