The Demise of CrowdTangle and What It Means for Independent Technology Research

The Tech Policy Press Podcast
These formal proceedings are looking into multiple possible infringements of the Digital Services Act, but the one I think that's most relevant to CrowdTangle and to public data access, is the question of whether or not Meta was right to decide to deprecate CrowdTangle ahead of many elections in the EU. I think one of the things that I'm wondering about too is the extent to which this investigation and the Commission statements about CrowdTangle, fit into the broader conversation about how the DSA will be implemented in particular, granted Article 40 and this provision around requiring platforms to provide access to researchers for platform data.
