 r><td>The technology has long existed for automated tools that would filter
  out toxic social media content or a virtual shopping assistant that would 
 find and even purchase the best deals online without having to go to many d
 ifferent websites and product pages. Yet incumbent businesses have used law
 suits and data control to stifle such digital help. This talk will explore 
 the law’s role in supporting third-party automated tools—and in limiting th
 eir potential to become avenues for new harms.</p><p>Note: this event in-pe
 rson attendance only and will be conducted under Chatham House rules. Video

 peaker</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td>Rory Van Loo’s research focuses on
