The internet was once widely perceived as a space for innovation overseen by little to no traditional regulation. However, this paradigm is increasingly being questioned by figures from across government, the private sector, and wider society – who argue in favour of adequate regulation to mitigate the harmful effects of the internet. But what should this regulation look like? Who is responsible for implementing it?

It is with this in mind that the European Council on Foreign Relations in collaboration with Telefonica launched a series of workshops in London, Berlin, Washington, Brussels and Madrid to debate these questions with stakeholders.
