What to do – Concrete Proposals Delivered to the Parliament

The digital information sphere has become a contested space for big tech, competing fiercely to lead the development and deployment of AI. Scale and speed are crucial. In this race, fundamental values are at risk and concrete action is needed.

Danske Medier and DPCMO have delivered concrete solutions to the Danish Parliament:

– A legal presumption rule/reversal of the burden of proof
– Reinforcement of the original IP principle that content creators must have ultimate control over usage of their work, also in the context of data mining and AI; opt-in instead of opt-out
– Introduction of a European final-offer-arbitration model
– Updating of the DSM directive article 15 so big tech cannot circumvent the obligations by claiming the exceptions
– Wider access to data and greater transparency for kids and young people’s news consumption in big tech
– AVMS update so that all competing platforms are subject to the same obligations
– Citizens cannot be denied access to reliable news; blocking news and censorship must not be possible
– Strengthened competition oversight – ensuring a level playing field and action against unfair trading conditions
