ACTL-CPT Talks: In discussion with Isabella De Michelis (Founder and CEO of Ernieapp) “Must Facebook or Instagram pay their users”

During this webinar Isabella De Michelis (CEO and Founder of Ernieapp) will present her proposal to introduce a right to monetize users’ data in the digital space and will analyze the significant implications that such a new right could potentially have for the purposes of taxation.

De Michelis proposal is based on her co-authored paper titled “An Introduction to the Right to Monetize (RTM)”, where she argues that end-users should receive a fair compensation for the value and gains they contribute to generate for third parties. (must Facebook pay a royalty to their users?) To do so, she suggests introducing a new policy concept for the digital economy named the “Right to Monetize” (RTM), which could be built around the notion of property rights. De Michelis thinks that, by introducing such a new concept, we could have a fairer, inclusive and more prosperous Internet ecosystem.
