Defining co-regulation is a difficult challenge. There's no single model, but rather multiple and heterogeneous frameworks. They depend on the mode of interaction among stakeholders, the degree of flexibility of the tools, and the type of goal to be achieved. Resorting to the concept of co-regulation in regulating new technologies is now essential due to the inadequacy of public hetero-regulation and the uncontrolled expansion of private self-regulation. In light of this awareness, questions arise about the issues that co-regulation entails in the digital ecosystem, investigating whether and how resorting to public technical standards can lead to forms of co-regulation that are constitutionally compliant.
