Understanding the impact of online platforms requires looking beyond individual pieces of legislation to examine how platform design, business practices and regulatory frameworks interact to shape people's online experiences and their ability to participate in public life. interface's Digital Public Sphere Programme examines how the EU can foster a safer, fairer and more democratic online environment through effective platform regulation. We assess the opportunities and limitations of existing and emerging regulatory frameworks, identify gaps and overlaps between them, and develop policy recommendations that strengthen platform accountability while safeguarding fundamental rights and empowering users.
