Conference on platform crime in the digital age

The event focuses on criminal law, but also includes selected civil and public law dimensions of online platform crime. The main topics will be the phenomena of "fake news" and "hate speech" on the internet, the operation of criminal trading platforms on the internet and a potential tightening of platform liability under future law. In addition to criminal law presentations, platform crime will also be discussed from the perspective of constitutional and media law and - with regard to a possible tightening of the liability of platform operators - copyright and antitrust law.
