In the current geopolitical landscape, fixing the logic of VLOPs’ recommender systems is as much a political as a legal challenge.

Panoptykon will be present at the CPDP conference in Brussels this season with a panel on digital fairness and consumer empowerment. Panoptykon’s president Katarzyna Szymielewicz will lead the discussion featuring DG Justice and Norwegian Consumer Council.
