“I really don’t know how tractable it would be to pressure compagnies” seems weirdly familiar. We already used the same argument for AGI safety, and we know that governance work is much more tractable than expected.
Helping to enforce the DSA might be one opportunity. The DSA is a constraining piece of legislation, but the team tasked with monitoring online platforms and enforce it is understaffed, especially in the early days (these roles were actually on the 80,000 Hours jobs board). So, perhaps there could be an opportunity e.g. in finding ways to help them automatically detect or verify compliance issues, if they accept such contributions.
For Tournesol, their website doesn’t appear to have changed so much during the last year, so I suppose it is pretty mature. They also have other projects, and they tend to foster a community of French volunteers interested in recommendation algorithms. It depends on whether such projects could have a large-scale impact.
I don’t Tournesol is really mature currently, especially for non french content, and I’m not sure they try to do governance works, that’s mainly a technical projet, which is already cool.
