Biography
Cyril Fischer is a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Pieter Van Cleynenbreugel. His thesis project, entitled "(Re-)thinking digital platforms' responsibilities: a focus on data, consent and metaverse" aims to answer the following central research question: how are (and should) digital platforms (be) governed in terms of responsibilities, including vis-à-vis data?
This main question is broken down into 5 questions, which can be summarised as follows: (1) does the Digital Services Act propose a new general responsibility regime for platforms vis-à-vis the e-commerce directive 2000/31 as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union; (2) how could the current consent mechanism deployed as the main way to endorse obligations and give rights be revisited or replaced in the digital environment;
(3) what are the main challenges platforms navigating the so-called `metaverse¿ would pose, and to what extent could the current regulation be translated into the metaverse; (4) how to rethink the qualification under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 of current and future cloud computing platforms, and; (5) how can the upcoming regulatory mosaic governing data be systematised for digital platforms?
In addition to his thesis, Cyril is also a lawyer and a teaching assistant for the European Substantive Law course and the European Law, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence seminar.
Cyril joined the EU Legal Studies in 2021. He holds a Master of Laws from the University of Liege (2017) and an LLM from the London School of Economics (2018). He also followed the Law, Cognitive Technology & Artificial Intelligence course at the Brussels School of Competition (2021).
Finally, Cyril is a scientific associate of the Roman Law and Comparative Private Law department of the ULiege. Since 2019, Cyril is a conferencier at the University of Luxembourg, where he gives a seminar entitled "Internet Litigation".
