Paolo Cavaliere is a Senior Lecturer in Digital Media and IT Law at the University of Edinburgh Law School, where he also serves as Co-Director of the Scottish Research Centre for Intellectual Property and Technology Law (SCRIPT) and Head of Subject Area for IP, Media and Technology. He joined the University in September 2014 and maintains active research and teaching in freedom of expression, media law, and communications law. His educational background includes a PhD in International Law and Economics from Bocconi University (Italy), an LLM in Public Law from University College London, and a Laurea in Law from the University of Pavia (Italy). 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. He has provided expertise on telecommunications and media law to various NGOs and international organizations, including the African Union's Mission to Somalia and the Council of Europe. His teaching and research activities demonstrate strong engagement with both theoretical legal frameworks and practical policy implementation, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of digital media regulation. Cavaliere regularly contributes to policy discussions through commissioned reports, legal reviews, and participation in academic and professional networks focused on media law and digital governance.
