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.

‘I strongly endorse Governance of Digital Single Market Actors, edited by Katja Weckström, Maria Lillà Montagnani, and Katarzyna Klafkowska-Waśniowska.

Particularly valuable is its nuanced exploration of accountability in algorithmic governance, liability transformations, and user-centric protection measures. This work significantly advances discussions around platform governance and offers fresh perspectives vital for informed regulatory strategies.’
