The convergence of video gaming, live streaming, and social content platforms has given rise to a vibrant, but increasingly complex, ecosystem. Governments and regulators worldwide are now racing to define and enforce rules governing user safety, platform accountability, and digital rights in this evolving landscape.

This panel discusses the emerging legal frameworks and compliance practices shaping the future of online safety and content moderation on gaming and streaming platforms. Panellists will examine different regulatory approaches across jurisdictions, including the EU Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act, and Australia’s online safety legislation, with a focus on their implications for platforms hosting live-streamed gameplay, esports tournaments, and influencer-driven gaming content.
