NOVEL CONCEPTS IN DIGITAL STATES AND THEIR STRUCTURES
summary
Panel argues states face concrete shifts: platforms effectively create private rule-sets and digital ecosystems that sidestep borders, while states respond by treating themselves as platforms or trusted informational intermediaries. Proposals include a One-Stop State model (service + surveillance trade-offs) and a new interface right to mediate fundamental rights and social context, with GDPR cited as a working example. Regulatory tests: EU AI Act (risk‑based, procedural, new prohibitions and Article 68 right to explanation) versus Brazil’s Bill; Palantir-style outsourcing and TikTok geopolitics expose enforcement gaps.
