SUMMARY:Digital Platform Governance after the Pandemic and Other Crises: Fr
 om a Japanese Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies\
 n\nIn today’s society\, digital platforms play critical roles. Global di
 gital platforms such as Google\, Facebook\, and TikTok especially play cru
 cial roles and raise legal concerns such as the spread of disinformation a
 nd exploitation of personal data. Furthermore\, with the advancement of th
 e Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence\, the new governors of di
 gital platforms have influenced our communication and activities both in t
 he real world and in the virtual world by designing the architecture of th
 eir platforms.\n\nThis talk tries to explore a new model of digital platfo
 rm governance after the pandemic and other crises\, including heightened i
 nternational and domestic political conflicts. First\, I present the chara
 cteristics and problems of digital platform governance in Japan\, comparin
 g that with the United States\, the European Union\, and other Asian count
 ries. Next\, I illustrate how the digital platform governance in Japan has
  been challenged and changed after the pandemic and other crises\, focusin
 g on the governance of data collection and analysis to combat COVID-19 by 
 the government and platform businesses\, digital contact tracing\, and mod
 eration of the infodemic. Finally\, I propose a blueprint for a future mod
 el of digital platform governance to realize the integrated governance of 
 the real and virtual worlds.
