Professor Thom Lambert recently participated on a panel at the International Center for Law & Economics conference titled “Substance over Slogans: Competition and the Wealth of Nations” in Rome, Italy. The panel he sat on was titled, “Gatekeepers or Guardians: Designing Platforms in the Face of Regulation” and the discussion focused on how to conceptualize platforms—as gatekeepers that require constraint or as curators that create value through governance—and how frameworks like the Digital Markets Act (DMA) shape those roles.
