frameworks to accommodate new media and emerging technology. It seeks to support the
development of the right to freedom of speech, right to dignity and equality, and the right to privacy in the digital age, through rigorous academic research, policy intervention, and

artificial intelligence, blockchain, 5G and IoT, platform regulation, misinformation,
