Is it possible to govern Big Tech? A critical analysis of the EU Digital Services Act
Abstract
This article presents the provisional findings of an ongoing research project on platform regulation in Southern Europe. Centred on debates around platform governance and platform regulation, the study had two objectives. Firstly, to contribute to the debate on Southern European platform regulation, which has generally been neglected in the literature outside the context of labour related platforms. To do so, the article analyses current online discourse in relation to the regulatory framework and the recently adopted Digital Services Act. Secondly, we set out a progressive agenda for the democratization of the digital landscape.
