The Regulation of Digital Technologies

Digital technologies increasingly permeate all aspects of our lives, affecting the way we live and work together. Their regulation, however, is unlike the regulation of any other technology developed so far. Exactly because of their permeating effect, digital technologies pose challenges that go well beyond their use and exploitation, having developed into a social, political and financial (rather than purely technological) phenomenon. This series aims to examine the various issues posed by the legislators' attempt to regulate digital technologies in Europe and internationally.
