SUMMARY:We the Dead: Preserving Data at the End of the World
DESCRIPTION:In the late nineteenth century\, the U.S. government and American corporations generated an unprecedented amount of paper records. The data complex emerged as a national network of repositories built to house all those documents. Over the next several decades\, the data complex expanded from traditional archives and libraries to bombproof bunkers and securitized data banks. In the 21st century\, some tech companies are working to build data centers in outer space\, while others have figured out how to store backups of digital files in synthetic DNA. How did Americans become so obsessed with preserving data\, and how is the data complex expanding and changing today? How is it changing us? As we increasingly think\, communicate\, and relate through digital technology\, our nervous systems grow more entangled with fiber optics\, further blurring the line between human life and the life of machines\, between our everyday thoughts and the dreams of the data complex. \nBrian Michael Murphy is Chair and Associate Professor of American Studies at Williams College\, and a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. His book\, We the Dead: Preserving Data at the End of the World\, received both the Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies\, and the Lois P. Rudnick Book Prize from the New England American Studies Association. His writings appear in The Kenyon Review\, Wall Street Journal\, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, Media-N\, Lapham’s Quarterly\, IGN\, and elsewhere. \n  \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Enforce on the DSA enforcers: how can Member States legally push the Commission to act?
DESCRIPTION:The DSA establishes a hybrid enforcement framework. The European Commission holds exclusive competence to supervise and enforce DSA obligations on Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs). National authorities — Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs) — handle all other intermediaries established in their territory. \nThis centralized exclusive competence creates a real structural tension and dependency: raising the question: what legal options do EU Member States have if the Commission fails to do its job as as a supervisory and enforcement body? \nWelcome to join our discussion with Legal Consultant & Governance Advisor Christine Allan de Lavenne from SIDE Law Office! \nSpeaker:Christine Allan de Lavenne\, Tech Innovation Legal Consultant & Governance Advisor \nChristine Allan de Lavenne is a legal and policy executive operating at the intersection of freedom of expression\, intellectual property\, and emerging technology governance. With more than two decades of experience across Europe and the United States\, she advises public institutions\, NGOs\, technology-driven organizations\, and founders on navigating complex legal and regulatory environments where fundamental rights\, innovation\, and public accountability intersect. \nChristine is the founding partner of SIDE Law Office and serves as an independent international tech innovation legal consultant and AI governance advisor. She advises NGOs\, public bodies\, and policy organizations on AI governance\, information integrity\, and cross-border regulatory strategy. Her work includes bridging international legal standards with the operational deployment of AI systems and contributing to policy initiatives addressing coordinated disinformation campaigns and their impact on democratic discourse and fundamental rights. Several of these contributions have informed government approaches and multilateral policy discussions. \nEarlier in her career\, Christine practiced media\, intellectual property\, and human rights law within leading European firms\, supporting politically sensitive matters involving freedom of expression\, reputation\, and international human rights\, as well as complex asylum and international criminal cases before French and international jurisdictions. She began her career at UNESCO\, where she served as a Consultant in the Human Rights Division\, coordinating the International Human Rights Forum and contributing to the organization’s human rights strategy across its member. \nChristine currently serves on and advises boards and initiatives focused on AI governance\, digital trust\, and information integrity. She is a dual U.S. and French citizen and is admitted to the Paris Bar. \nModerator: Alexandre Alaphilippe\, Executive Director\, EU DisinfoLab \nAlexandre Alaphilippe is the Executive Director and co-founder of the EU DisinfoLab. Since 2017\, he has coordinated work on some of the organisation’s largest investigations into Information Operations linked to Russia\, India and China. In 2022\, he led the exposure of Doppelganger\, which has been labeled as one of the largest information operation from Russia in the past years. He is a member of a number of working groups in Brussels and Washington DC linked to platform regulation\, transatlantic relations\, and hybrid threats\, where he emphasises the role of civil society in maintaining democratic values. He has published papers for the Brookings Institution and his work has been featured on CNN\, BBC\, Le Monde and Politico. \nClick here to learn more and register to attend. \nNote: Event details are listed in Central European Summer Time (CEST\, UTC+2).
