Yongil Bae is a Research Assistant with the Applied Social Media Lab. His research asks how online platforms set the terms of their relationship with users, how AI is altering the way public opinion forms on social media, and how policy might respond to both. He built the Platform Policy Explorer, a natural-language tool that reads over 1,700 terms-of-service and privacy documents to measure how platforms weigh their own discretion against user rights. Before Harvard, he practiced for seven years at Kim & Chang, advising technology companies and government ministries on data protection, competition, and export controls. An engineer by training with a degree from KAIST, he completed his LL.M. at Harvard Law School in 2026.
