‘I strongly endorse Governance of Digital Single Market Actors, edited by Katja Weckström, Maria Lillà Montagnani, and Katarzyna Klafkowska-Waśniowska. The volume goes beyond conventional analyses by thoughtfully redefining how EU regulatory frameworks can respond to the complexities posed by digital platforms. Particularly valuable is its nuanced exploration of accountability in algorithmic governance, liability transformations, and user-centric protection measures. This work significantly advances discussions around platform governance and offers fresh perspectives vital for informed regulatory strategies.’
