European Commission approves DSA access framework for platform data researchers
The European Commission approved a framework under the Digital Services Act allowing accredited independent researchers to request specific data from large digital platforms, the report said. National Digital Services Coordinators will assess researchers before requests can be made; Spain’s coordinator is the CNMC. The portal is expected to launch after the European Parliament and Council validate the delegated act, forecast for October 2025.
The framework could enable research into how illegal gambling offers gain visibility through platform algorithms and advertising.
