This is one of the most important parts of the EUs upcoming digital services act in my opinion. Platforms have to share data with (vetted) researchers, public interest groups and journalists.

Vetted always means people with the time, resources and desire to navigate through the vetting process, which makes them biased.

I'm biased against Google, but I'm honest about it. I don't ask "what could I possibly be biased about?"
