Zusammenfassung:Meinungsfreiheit in der Plattformgesellschaft. Das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung als Grenze der durch Plattformunternehmen vermittelten staatlichen Regulierung von Meinungsäußerungen im Internet.
Kann sich der Gesetzgeber seiner grundrechtlichen Verantwortung entziehen, indem er Online-Plattformen verpflichtet, nutzergenerierte Inhalte zu löschen? Alexander Pirang zeigt, dass das Recht auf Meinungsfreiheit nicht durch Plattformregulierung ausgehebelt wird.
Can legislators launder state action through private companies by requiring online platforms to moderate content? Alexander Pirang asserts that platform users right to freedom of expression imposes effective constraints on public authorities power to regulate platform companies.
The Digital Services Act aims to tackle illegal online speech by delegating content moderation tasks to platform providers. However, this approach is blurring the boundaries between public and private restrictions of platform users freedom of expression, which raises the question whether platform regulation allows legislators to launder state action through private companies. Alexander Pirang examines how the right to freedom of expression enshrined in the European Unions Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights can function as a constraint on public authority power to regulate online platforms. Specifically, he analyzes how public authorities can be held responsible for speech restrictions enforced by platform providers. He also explores how such restrictions can be justified, with a focus on the necessary safeguards against the over-blocking of lawful content.Survey of contentsIntroductionI. Setting the stage - II.
