“An Industry Perspective on Regulating Platformized Sexual Content”

Rébecca Suzanne Franco will be speaking in the next session of the PGMT Lab online talk series “Behind the Scenes – Conversations on Empirical Platform Governance Research”.

The rise of digital platforms has transformed sexual commerce, raising questions about how sexual content is sold and regulated and on what terms at the intersection of several regulatory domains: pornography and sex work, user-generated content, and gig labor. This talk delves into empirical research that examines the evolving regulatory landscape of platformized sex work and adult content, often described as a regulatory ‘grey zone.’

Time and Date: October 22, 2024, 3-4 pm (CET)
