Governing or Governed by Digital Platforms? Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Constitutionalism, the EU, and Corporate Power
Digital platforms and content moderation raise complex political, legal, and empirical questions. These challenges arise from platforms' global reach and the intertwined relationship between state power and corporate power, where the latter profits from forms of information capitalism. Recently, the EU has adopted various regulations to mitigate the risks and harms associated with platforms and seeks to establish itself as a global standard-setting power in the digital domain. Through regulatory packages such as the Digital Services Act, AI Act, and Digital Markets Act, the EU aims to foster a human-centric, rights-driven, and trustworthy online environment.
