Prior to his position at Edinburgh, he worked as a researcher at the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policies at the University of Oxford's Centre for Socio-Legal Studies. Cavaliere's research focuses on the intersection of digital technologies and legal frameworks, with particular expertise in disinformation regulation, freedom of expression in digital environments, media law, and platform governance. His work examines how traditional legal concepts like truth, accuracy, and sovereignty are being redefined in the context of digital platforms and global information ecosystems. He has published extensively on topics including hate speech regulation, content moderation practices, micro-targeting in political campaigns, and the impact of disinformation on democratic processes. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward examining how legal frameworks are adapting to the challenges posed by digital platforms, particularly regarding disinformation, hate speech, and content governance. His work increasingly addresses the tension between protecting fundamental rights like freedom of expression and implementing effective regulatory measures for digital platforms. The 2024 publication on freedom of expression after disinformation represents a significant evolution in his thinking toward developing new paradigms for information rights in the digital age. Cavaliere maintains active professional affiliations as a research associate at the University of Oxford's Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy and as a non-resident research fellow at the Central European University's Center for Media, Data and Society.
