About the Conference

As the Digital Services Act (DSA) approaches its second anniversary of full applicability across the EU, the DSA Observatory at the University of Amsterdam will host its second international conference on ‘The DSA and Platform Regulation’.

This two-day event will reflect on the DSA and European platform regulation, including in its broader legal and political context, under the overall theme of platform governance and democracy.

The conference brings together speakers from academia, civil society, regulators, industry, and legal practice. It features 100 papers, which selected authors will present across five breakout sessions, as well as a poster session on the DSA’s risk-based approach. Other themes include DSA politics and enforcement, access to data for researchers, user redress and reporting mechanisms, content moderation, and the DSA’s intersections with AI and the regulation of digital markets.
