As India contemplates new regulations for platforms, particularly larger online platforms, we speak with Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz about effective enforcement of laws on platform regulation, appropriate regulatory structures, and key elements that platform governance laws across the globe should consider. In July 2022, the European Parliament approved the Digital Service Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to ensure user safety online, protect fundamental rights, and maintain a fair and open online platform environment. In this episode of the The CCG Tech Podcast, Prof. Schulz draws from his experience following and participating in the drafting process of the DSA to share learnings for other countries to consider.

About Our Guest Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schulz is Research Director of the Hans-Bredow-Institute for Media Research. He has been a lecturer in the Information and Communication specialization of the Faculty of Law at the University of Hamburg since 1997. He also holds the UNESCO Chair on Freedom of Communication and Information.
