Description
This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU.
The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society.
This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics.
The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources.
Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.
