Description
This is a field-defining open access playbook for identifying and responding to the global regulatory challenges created by large digital platforms.
Here Nanjala Nyabola, Taylor Owen, and Heidi Tworek gather leading scholars and practitioners from around the world to deliberate key issues emerging from digital platforms across four topics: content, data, competition and infrastructure. From hate speech to disinformation, from algorithms to AI, from monopolistic tech giants to disruptive start-ups, and from 5G to cloud computing to the internet of things, this book offers exhaustive coverage of issues related to platform governance. Along the way, it pushes scholarly, practitioner, and policymaker communities to address the global nature of this challenge and to take seriously diverse global approaches to owning and regulating platforms.
