What are digital platforms? An overview of definitions, typologies, economics, and legal challenges arising from the platform economy in Eu
Digitalisation is defining new eras for various economic sectors and human activities. It consists of all interventions to bring what is analogue in the digital dimension. Digitalization sector is the main enabler of the platform economy, which takes the form of the creation of a data (or digital) layer on top of the physical world, providing a parallel virtual map of the world. Digitalisation, embodied by digital platforms, brings efficiency by reducing information asymmetry, transaction costs, search costs, and by empowering new services or large scale of coordinated networks. However, digital platforms raise new regulatory challenges such as, for instance, the need for open data, ensuring a balanced relationship between the platforms and their users, inappropriate existing legal framework for new services, etc. In this light, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive introduction in the dimension of digital platforms by analysing their definitions, typologies, economics, and legal challenges arising from the platform economy in EU. Thus, it provides an examination of the intersection between digital platforms, economics, and law.
Data protection and vulnerability
This contribution describes the evolution of the right to privacy from the traditional right to be let alone to data protection, enshrined as an autonomous right in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. While illustrating the most innovative features of this right, the author also emphasizes that data protection represents an essential guarantee for freedom, equality and dignity with respect to vulnerabilities: both traditional ones and those induced by new technologies
Minors' data protection between e-learning and social network platforms
The paper analyses the impact of Internet on minors' privacy right. It focuses on two aspects. On the one hand, the health emergency of the last few months has imposed schools to provide smart lessons, which, however, pose new problems of data protection. On the other hand, more complex issues are involved when minors use social networks. Thus, it is essential to determine which role parents have and in which extent minors are able to express their consent. The purpose of the paper is to show the new emerging challenges in this field, overcoming some difficulties of coordination between the Italian law and the E.U. framework, in order to assure an effective protection to minors in the digital environment
Preventing Data Breaches from occurring
You are a data security officer at a reputable high street vendor. It has transpired that a memory stick containing the email addresses of several customers has been lost by a member of staff. The customers whose data has been lost are extremely angry, as they are now being targeted by huge amounts of unsolicited spam email. Head Office have tasked you with investigating the cause of this data breach, and which behavioural antecedents contributed to it. Your task is to determine the underlying reasons as to why the breach occurred, rather than simply what happened at the time. It is possible that it occurred accidently, but you are unsure at this point. A member of staff could have been targeted and their memory stick stolen
L'IO, L’ALTRO E IL BILANCIAMENTO DEGLI INTERESSI NELLA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - THE EGO, THE OTHER AND THE BALANCE OF INTERESTS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
‘Ego’ and ‘other’ are, in private law, concepts of primary magnitude which, in a proper balancing of opposing interests, take on relevance for the purposes of protecting individual legal situations. The investigation of these axioms is carried out starting from the most well-known rights to identity, image, confidentiality and oblivion to reach the most recent Artificial Intelligence and certain problems it raises
Time to teach?
In order to make clear the very different ways in which time, as well as the relation between student and teacher takes shape and form within education this paper explore two archetypes of teaching: Socratic teaching and Sophist teaching. Here I analyse the distinctly different ways in which power and the organisation of the social sphere take place within each. Socratic teaching is shown to rely on a notion of time as reproduction, which involves reproducing the power structure of a certain social order of inequality. By contrast, Sophist teaching relies on a notion of time as the instantiation of change and equality in the present. The paper concludes with pinpointing that what is at stake in teaching is the possibility of a liveable life for all (Sophist) rather than only for some (Socratic)
