This panel was part of the conference Multiple Legalities: Conflict and Entanglement in the Global Legal Order, organized in memoriam Sally Engle Merry by Hannah Birkenkötter and Nico Krisch in cooperation with the Verfassungsblog.

How are online platforms that are used by billions of users around the world regulated? This panel looks at how platform economies such as Facebook or AirBnB are regulated and how they relate with and connect the different legalities they come into contact with. Does this challenge traditional understandings of law?
