Abstract

The digital media’s fast growth has put forth complex regulatory issues which present time out of date frameworks are unable to handle. In this paper we look at important challenges, creative solutions, and implementation strategies for effective supervision. We see issues of data privacy at world level, scaling content moderation in many legal and cultural settings, and also we look into matters of algorithmic accountability which is the base of platform responsibility. Also we see how network effects and data advantages play a role in creating competition issues which tend to be monopolistic in nature. Technical solutions which include blockchain, AI, and machine learning play a role in content screening and regulatory compliance. In terms of risk based regulation and tiered responses policy frameworks we see a great deal of flexibility. Digital journalism, streaming, and social media each have their own rules which play into specific issues related to journalistic standards and algorithmic transparency. Also we see new business models, AI generated content, and decentralized media as issues which require flexible regulations. The report puts forth the case for an innovative and broad approach to regulation.
