“I am delighted to receive this nomination,” said Bietti. “It is an unexpected but pleasant surprise. There is currently an appetite and a need for richer perspectives on the overlap between antitrust law and other forms of regulatory law as digital industries undergo dramatic legal and regulatory change.”
An expert on the regulation of digital technologies, data and digital platform intermediaries, Bietti joined the Northeastern faculty in 2023 as assistant professor of law and computer science within the School of Law and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. She studies how platform companies such as Google or Meta shape people’s political and consumption choices and defends conceptions of privacy, data protection and antitrust law that are sensitive to infrastructural and collective concerns in the digital economy. Bietti’s work has been published or is forthcoming in legal venues such as the Texas Law Review, Illinois Law Review, Georgetown Tech Law Review, Pace Law Review, the Computer Law and Security Review, as well as general or technical venues, such as Cambridge University Press, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency and the Journal of Social Computing.
