Digital Platforms and International Private Law, or Is There a Future for Cyber Law?

Abstract

Modern economy and society are reconfigured in connection with the emergence and development of digital platforms, which is figuratively referred to as “uberization of everything”. This became possible with the development of information and communication technologies and the formation of cyberspace. The key problem for lawyers is the construction of the legal superstructure of cyberspace, which leads to the emergence of a number of concepts: cyberlaw, “platform law”, internet law etc. However, while science is trying to comprehend the relevant paradigm shifts, a huge array of cross-border transactions are made by consumers with platformtype companies; cross-border disputes are resolved through online dispute resolution (ODR) procedures in international commercial arbitration or courts; law enforcement practice is being formed, which responds to the challenges of the cyber environment. It is the tools of private international law that are most in demand in regulating the relevant relations. What would be more viable in modern conditions: international private law or cyber law?
