How can civil society organizations be involved in drafting digital competition law

Discuss the importance of involving civil society organizations in drafting digital competition law
  • Civil society organizations (CSOs) can provide valuable input as they represent the interests of citizens and consumers, which are often overlooked in discussions on digital competition laws.
  • CSOs can also conduct research and analysis on the impact of digital competition laws on society, especially on marginalized groups.
  • They can advocate for the inclusion of social and ethical considerations in the drafting of digital competition laws, such as the protection of privacy and transparency in algorithmic decision-making processes.
  • CSOs also have experience advocating for policies that promote fairness and competition, which can inform discussions on digital competition laws.
  • Involving CSOs can also increase the legitimacy and acceptance of the digital competition laws, as they represent a diverse range of stakeholders and can effectively communicate the need for the law to the general public.
Overall, involving civil society organizations in the drafting of digital competition laws can lead to more informed, fair, and inclusive policies that promote competition while also protecting the rights and interests of citizens and consumers.
