Platform Regulation

Platform regulation involves establishing rules and standards for companies that operate digital platforms, such as social media, e-commerce, or search engines. The goal is to ensure these platforms operate fairly, protect users’ rights, prevent harmful or illegal content, and promote transparency. Regulations can address issues like data privacy, misinformation, user safety, and market dominance. They aim to balance innovation with accountability, making sure platforms serve the public interest without abusing their power or creating unfair competition. Overall, platform regulation seeks to create a safer, more trustworthy digital environment for everyone.
