As part of the Quinzaine du Numérique conference series, the Master in Digital Law programme at the University of Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) will host a Research Day #3 featuring two engaging events on December 3, 2024, at the Faculty of Law (Amphi B4).

Debate: Controlling Online Discourse – States and Social Media

Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Speaker: Valère Ndior (University of Western Brittany)
Moderator: Manon Altwegg-Boussac (UPEC)

Join us for a public debate on the book États et réseaux sociaux. Contrôler le discours en ligne by Valère Ndior and Emmanuel Netter, published in November 2024. This annual event, organized by the Book Club of the Master in Digital Law, invites students to collectively study a recently published work over several weeks, culminating in a lively discussion with the author.

This debate is an exceptional opportunity to delve into critical topics surrounding state control of online discourse, with participation from students in the M2 Digital Law programme.

Conference: The Content Governance Dilemma

Time: 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM
Speaker: Edoardo Celeste (Dublin City University)

Renowned scholar Dr. Edoardo Celeste, invited professor in the Master in Digital Law programme, will deliver a thought-provoking lecture titled The Content Governance Dilemma: Digital Constitutionalism, Social Media, and the Search for a Global Standard. This session will explore critical questions at the intersection of digital constitutionalism, content regulation, and the global quest for effective governance standards on social media platforms.

Supported by UPEC’s “Foreign Visiting Professor” initiative, this conference is a unique opportunity for participants to engage with cutting-edge discussions on digital governance and social media law.

Both events are part of the Master in Digital Law’s commitment to fostering intellectual engagement and advancing research in digital and legal transformations.
