During a parallel session, Professor Harada presented under the title "Implications to Japan and other countries from the Use of ADR/ODR in Content Moderation within the EU."

In his presentation, Professor Harada examined Out-of-court Dispute Settlement (ODS) bodies—certified under Article 21 of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) under the DSA, which is typically conducted online and thus also functions as Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). Focusing on the transparency reports published by certified ODS bodies, he discussed the implications of the EU framework for Japan and other countries.
