How Does Your Country Regulate the Liability of Internet Intermediaries?

The International Legal Research Group on Internet Censorship has researched issues such as taking down and filtering internet content, online hate speech and liability of internet intermediaries across 24 European jurisdictions and published this in this Final Report. The final report explores the legal background of an awareness survey on freedom of expression online run by ELSA and containing more than 1,000 unique responses. This survey found, among others, that almost 80% of the respondents have experienced fake news online while more than 67% have experienced online hate speech. The final report falls under the implementation of ELSA’s International Focus Programme on the interplay between Law and Technology. This focus programme seeks to explore how technology and technological developments may affect law and how law and regulation may affect the realisation of the full potential of technology and innovation.
