Parliamentary Session 2 | Governing Digital Platforms in Asia-Pacific: Strengthening Public Policy

[Parliamentary Session 2] Governing Digital Platforms in the Asia-Pacific: Strengthening Public Policy through Multistakeholder Insights? Governing digital platforms can enable tremendous opportunities for innovation and growth. Discussions around public policies address challenges as well, related to the governance of data, digital rights, misinformation and content moderation, algorithmic transparency, and platform accountability. The session invites experts across sectors and disciplines to share concrete examples of governance practices around the regulation and oversight of digital platforms. MPs will engage with policy frameworks drawn from fellow parliamentarians, the private sector, academia, civil society, and the technical community, tailored to challenges faced by Asia-Pacific countries. Through an open and practical dialogue, the session will address key questions, including: ● How can digital platform regulation contribute to a more secure and trustworthy digital environment? ● How can laws and regulatory frameworks remain flexible and adaptive to rapidly evolving technologies like AI? ● What policies can protect national data sovereignty while enabling cross-border data flow? ● What are effective models for involving civil society, technical experts, and the private sector in policymaking around digital platforms? ● What legislative mechanisms can ensure greater transparency in how platforms use algorithms to curate content or make decisions? Speakers: ● Hon. Padam Pariyar, Member of Parliament, National Assembly (Upper House of Nepal) ● Waqas Hassan, Regional Lead for Asia, Global Digital Inclusion Partnership (GDIP) Moderator: ● Waqas Hassan, Regional Lead for Asia, Global Digital Inclusion Partnership (GDIP) For more information, visit the IGF 2025 Parliamentary Track webpage: https://www.intgovforum.org/en/conten...
