Pangloss, published by Lilian Edwards, focuses on legal issues related to digital technology, data protection, internet governance, and privacy law. The blog discusses topics such as the legal implications of Brexit, the right to be forgotten and data removal requests, online abuse and the responsibilities of social media platforms and law enforcement, and challenges in regulating internet content including pornography and child protection.

The blog provides commentary on legislative developments, judicial interpretations, and policy debates within the UK and EU contexts.
