PhD Thesis

Guglielmo’s research is provisionally titled ‘Lost in Translation: Does the EU Digital Constitution Actually Exist?’

The research seeks to understand whether the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) can successfully induce very large online platforms to transpose EU legal principles into their user-facing policies and content moderation frameworks. For each main principle and procedural safeguard covered therein, the research also aims to investigate whether the regulatory framework establishes a coherent architecture of user remedies to enforce such principles.
