Regulating the Information Infrastructure
As societies increasingly rely on digital infrastructures, it is imperative to rethink the legal foundations of information control and access. Reports about the removal of data from public websites, about cyber-attacks on critical information systems, and about the targeting of AI-generated misinformation during democratic elections motivates my project, which investigates, how the legal framework governing public information infrastructures has to adapt to the digital transformation.
