Dr Ethan Shattock

Dr Ethan Shattock

My work broadly focuses on the links between law, technology, and human rights. I am particularly interested in the regulation of harmful online communications (such as disinformation and hate speech) and the associated legal responsibilities for online platforms to moderate such communications. I am also interested in the right to freedom of expression and the right to free elections as protected under European human rights law.
