Ideas:
“  Berdien van der Donk is an international legal expert on online content moderation (PhD, 2x LL.M). She currently works at the European Commission on the enforcement of the Digital Services Act. Her PhD dissertation, titled 'Digital Bouncers' (2023), on the complex issue of questionable content removals and account suspensions on social media platforms in the European Union. The dissertation’s biggest contribution to the legal field lies in the unifying power of the roadmap. Streamlining the application of the various fields of law allows decision-makers to reach (more) uniform outcomes, which will ultimately benefit European platform users. The roadmap guides all parties involved in content moderation decisions on platforms, including judges in the Member States, social media platforms, and out-of-court dispute resolution bodies.  ”
