In December 2023, during the Middle East and Adjoining Countries School on Internet Governance (MEACSIG) in Muscat, Oman, I presented a session titled ‘Content Regulation and Platforms: Navigating the Digital Landscape.’
The discussion delved into the intricate dynamics of content regulation within digital platforms, highlighting the critical balance between protecting freedom of expression and enforcing policies to mitigate online harms like misinformation and hate speech. My presentation touched on the pressing need for nuanced digital policies in shaping the interactive, communicative, and informational fabric of the online world, offering a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and strategies at the intersection of technology, governance, and digital rights.
