On May 16, the Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society has launched an important tool for anyone searching or wanting to understand the dynamics of free speech on the Internet. The World Intermediary Liability Map (WILMap), a project that has been under my responsibility for the last two years, brings together decisions, legislation and bills that influence the legal responsibility of Internet intermediaries, ie the rules that regulate platforms such as search engines , social networks, our connection providers, or even blogs and websites that accept comments for content that is posted on the network by their users.

These standards are fundamental to freedom of expression as they determine the risks and incentives that platforms are having by maintaining or obstructing access to any information as well as the procedures governing the removal of content from the network.
