❗Just a bit less than 4 weeks left for the Adamic-Glance Award's nominations!
If you are or you know an early-career researcher who has made innovative and impactful contributions to social computing and computational social science, please consider this great opportunity ⭐️
CySoc 2026 is back! Check out the CfP below.
We are also looking for PC members. Pin me if you are interested in joining!
Final call for applications - deadline on February 28th!
We've alllllmost gotten all the Jan26 ARR reviews in, but I'm still trying to track down new emergency reviewers for papers on the following topics:
1) agents
2) jailbreaking
3) coding
4) RL
5) reasoning
6) LLM for finance
7) AMR
8) alignment
If you can review any (in next 24-48h) please DM me 🙏🙏🙏
thats what i thought
unclear (maybe too lazy): did they enforce the treatment somehow or just asked them to use only one of the two feeds?
Seems to be a common situation for ACs this round, but I'm also looking for two emergency reviewers for the January #ARR Evaluation and Resources track. I'd appreciate any help (reposts, encouragement, black magic...)
I'm looking for two emergency reviewers 🧑🚒👩🚒 for the ARR January Generalizability and Transfer track.
Please reach out if you have time & qualify for review or RT for visibility🙏🙏

Huge thanks to my co-authors and to all who have engaged with related debates over the past years. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation and contributing to an implementation of the hashtag#DSA that’s beneficial to the citizens of the hashtag#EU and all involved stakeholders.
Our paper offers evidence-informed insights into how regulators, platforms, and researchers can collaborate more effectively to realise the DSA’s potential — from streamlined and efficient data-sharing mechanisms to clearer operational standards simplifying compliance.
- TikTok and Meta have been preliminarily found to violate transparency and data access obligations and face potential sanctions under the same rules.
These developments show that the DSA is no longer just a framework on paper, it’s actively shaping platform behaviour and regulatory practice in EU.
- It issued the first major fine under the DSA — €120 million against X for breaches of transparency, deceptive design, and barriers to research access.
What makes this publication particularly timely?
Over the past few months, the European Commission has started enforcing the DSA in a visible way:
In this article, we outline practical recommendations for DSA implementation — especially around conflicts of interest, power and resource asymmetries, and implementation bottlenecks — drawing on our collective experiences and reflection on ongoing policy debates.
Our piece discusses opportunities and challenges for the online platform transparency and accountability regulation introduced recently in the European Union.
Happy to announce that our Opinion article about the hotly debated EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) has been accepted for publication in Communications of the ACM!
