The first DSC Seed Grant in 2022 goes to Christian Katzenbach and Dennis Redeker for the advancement of the Platform Governance Archive (PGA) data repository. The PGA enables users (researchers, regulators, journalists) to critically examine rules and policies of social media platforms (e.g. community guidelines, terms of service, privacy policy) via an appealing interface and the possibility to view substantial changes of the rules and policies over time.
As part of the project, a technical and organizational modification of the techniques for detecting changes in the rules of social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram) will be carried out in close cooperation with the Open Terms Archive (OTA). The goal is to ensure sustainable collection and preservation of the data.
