Obiettivi formativi

The course aims to provide students with a critical understanding of the web as a global marketplace in its own right. Students will acquire knowledge of the applicable legal framework to online transactions and awareness of the main policy and regulatory issues. They will be introduced to the challenges of applying legal principles of human rights, private law, informational privacy and data protection in relation to factual scenarios emerging from the latest developments of the internet.

Risultati dell'apprendimento attesi

Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

• Regulatory mechanisms and key actors of governance in relation to the internet technical infrastructure, operative standards and content.
• Legislative instruments and remedies to resolve controversies arising in the context of e-commerce transactions.
• The fundamental rights and obligations that apply to processing and transfer of data within and beyond the European Union.
• The main legal and technical instruments to control and moderate content online, including liability rules for internet intermediaries such as hosting services, social media platforms and messaging apps.

Students are expected to form their own independent judgment on the objects of understanding by:

• Working critically with multiple sources of law (e.g., international treaties, national laws, EU regulations and directives) and judicial decisions,
• Appropriately engage with rules of law belonging to different jurisdictions and originating in different national and international contexts.
• Identifying major principles and trends in the regulation of key issues of the internet ecosystem.
