EUの違法有害コンテンツ対策と意見の多様性

デジタルサービス法パッケージの経緯と概要を通じて

抄録

This paper will provide an overview of the background and circumstances leading up to the proposed Digital Services Act package in the European Union and an introduction to the draft. Through this, the implications for freedom of expression of the debate on the enhanced responsibilities of online platforms in Europe will be examined. As indirect regulation by public actors through online platforms becomes increasingly important, it is necessary to consider the impact on private expression of both the hidden regulation by public actors and the regulatory powers of online platforms. A positive assessment can be made of the proposed Digital Services Act from the perspective of clarifying the scope of regulation by public actors and limiting the arbitrary control of private expression by online platforms. The proposed Digital Markets Act may contribute to pluralising the space for the expression of opinions through ensuring the possibility of competition between online platforms.
