Summary
Data services act refers to a new regulation governing the territorial scope of application, but it currently remains silent on other private international law matters. This approach may delegate these questions to general instruments, but it may not address the specific challenges of a digital single market. There is a need to develop appropriate legal instruments to ensure that the new regulations are entirely effective in the digital space. A previous study conducted by a research team consisting of seven members has shown that it is possible to reduce the stigma of mental illness through mental health services acting in California. The lead author of the study was from the Monterey County Behavioral Health Department, and the rest of the team worked for the California Mental Health Services Authority or RAND Corporation. Their research provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of a state-wide effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness. Another research took place to evaluate the immediate effects of the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act on stigma, discrimination, and HIV prevention and treatment services in men who have sex with men in Nigeria. The study found that MSM's fear of seeking healthcare rose significantly in post-law visits than in pre-law visits, indicating that the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act negatively impacted MSM's willingness to engage in HIV prevention and treatment services. Therefore, to increase engagement with health services, HIV prevention and treatment programs for MSM may need to be adapted to reduce stigma and discrimination.

This paper discusses the DSA and DMA, two new regulations that define the territorial scope of application, but remain silent on any other question of private international law. It is argued that, while this approach appears to be part of a wider trend to delegate any questions of private international law to general instruments, ultimately, a true digital single market can only be achieved by addressing the specific challenges it raises through multilateral conflicts rules. The paper concludes that it is necessary to develop appropriate legal instruments in order to ensure that the two new regulations are fully effective in the digital space.

This study examines California's historic effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness through the Mental Health Services Act. The research team was made up of seven members: Wayne Clark PhD, Stephanie N. Welch MSW, Sandra H. Berry MA, Ann M. Collentine MPPA, Rebecca Collins PhD, Dorthy Lebron PhD, and Amy L. Shearer BA. Lead author Wayne Clark was from the Monterey County Behavioral Health Department, and the rest of the team were from either the California Mental Health Services Authority or RAND Corporation. The article was published in the American Journal of Public Health in May 2013 and available for reprinting online. This study provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of a state-wide effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness in a large population.

<0·0001). This study aimed to assess the immediate effect of the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act (signed in January 2014) on stigma, discrimination, HIV prevention and treatment services in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Nigeria. Through a prospective implementation research cohort of 707 MSM (≥16 years) in Abuja, Nigeria, outcomes assessed were measures of stigma and discrimination, loss to follow-up, antiretroviral therapy status and viral load. Results found that reported fear of seeking health care was significantly higher in postlaw visits than in prelaw visits. This suggests that the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act has had a negative impact on MSM's willingness to access HIV prevention and treatment services. Consequently, HIV prevention and treatment programs for MSM may need to be adapted to reduce stigma and discrimination in order to increase engagement in health services.

Cloud storage is a popular option for users to store their data and access it via a range of internet connected devices. This paper explored the process of collecting data from three popular public cloud storage providers (Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft SkyDrive) using a browser and also downloading files using client software. The research found that there were no changes to the contents of files during the process of upload, storage, and download to the three cloud storage services. It was observed that some of the timestamp information remained the same throughout the process of uploading, storing and downloading files. This research is important for digital forensic practitioners, as accessing data from cloud storage accounts poses technical and legal challenges, and understanding the circumstances relating to a timestamp on a file is vital. Therefore it is important to record the information available, and to understand the circumstances relating to a timestamp on a file. This research provides valuable insight into the processes of collecting data from cloud storage accounts, and provides digital forensic practitioners with a better understanding of the complexities of cloud storage forensics.

This paper presents an analysis of the decisions made by Apple and Google that hold back automated app privacy research, and the systemic risks created as a result. Through a thorough review of the academic literature and experience in the space, the paper highlights how these decisions limit the ability of researchers to study potential privacy issues. The paper also emphasizes the importance of the EU Digital Services Act in obliging Very Large Online Platforms to enable researchers to study systemic risks and to put in place reasonable, proportionate and effective mitigation measures. In conclusion, it is clear that decisions by Apple and Google have a significant impact on the ability to conduct automated app privacy research and that the EU Digital Services Act is necessary to ensure that these issues are addressed.
