Full Description
This book explores the digital future of the EU, critically analysing the governance of digital single market actors and the platform economy. It discusses notions of freedom, responsibility and accountability, examining the circulation of unlawful content through the broad lens of digital governance.
Chapters delve into the automation of content moderation and the rise of algorithmic enforcement, covering personal data protection in an age of artificial intelligence. They shed light on the measures put in place by video-sharing platforms for the protection of children, identifying landmark legislation, such as the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, and demonstrating the importance of consent, transparency and accountability. The book further introduces a normative structure for protecting users and core democratic values while supporting enforcement, striking a balance between the responsibility of platforms and freedom of innovation.
Governance of Digital Single Market Actors is a crucial resource for students and academics in human rights and IT law. Its unique insights will also greatly benefit legal and business practitioners navigating evolving regulatory landscapes.
