Anya Proops KC will be joining a panel at LIDW 2025 to discuss “The Social Media Effect – individual data and collective actions”. Recent developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning have led to a tremendous increase in the amount of individual data and information harvested and available, with implications for IP rights and collective actions. On the one hand, there is the issue of where and how to bring legal action, as the choice of venue can have implications for the case, such as the applicable rules and procedures and the potential costs involved. On the other hand, there is the fundamental question of how to establish a value for individual data, starting from the creation of a flexible framework which would encompass the heterogeneous nature of these types of data, and the multiple uses to which it is put. Anya will be joining a panel of legal and economic experts to discuss these questions, starting from the direction of travel emerging from recent decisions.
Anya will be joined on the panel by Meloria Meschi from FTI Consulting, Cat Greenwood-Smith and Martin Mekat from Freshfields LLP.
For more information about Anya’s practice or instructing her please contact Martin Pownall, Harry Farrow or Chloe King.
