<br>
<strong>Emerging regulation: market structure, content, data
and consumer/users rights regulation</strong></p>
<p>This preparatory session will offer attendees an introduction
to the policy issue area of emerging regulation that impacts
or relates to the Internet, one of four cross-cutting issue
areas of the IGF2021. Followed by scene-setting remarks,
this session will feature discussion on competition, content
moderation, data governance and consumer regulation that are
part of a recent trend of increased discussions on regulating
many aspects of the Internet, either in the form of national
and international regulations by governments and
intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), or private sector-led
self-regulation and co-regulation initiatives. We hope this
discussion can help to orientate the engagement of IGF2021
participants to identify regulatory approaches and impacts
that will be further expanded by the workshops that will be
part of the program in this issue area. All interested are
welcome, and organizers and speakers in relevant sessions
planned for IGF2021 are particularly encouraged to attend, in
order to foster early connections and exchange in preparation
for the hybrid event in December.</p>
