On Thursday we had the great pleasure to host an open seminar delivered by Professor Sayako Takizawa from Tohoku University in Japan. Professor Takizawa spoke about the challenges and practicalities of regulating powerful digital platforms from a comparative perspective. She analysed the recent developments in relation to Facebook in Germany as well as the recenlty issued soft law in this area in Japan. The seminar was well attended by a range of students and some external attendees.
