Regulating platforms

Terry Flew (Author)
In this up-to-the-minute study, Flew engages with important questions surrounding platform regulation as concerns about information monopolies, hateful online content, and the impact on media content creators and creative industries have become more marked. Starting from the premise that governance is an inherent feature of digital platforms, he argues that the challenge is to develop the best frameworks for balancing external regulatory oversight with the internal governance practices of platform companies. The intersection of media policy, information policy, and economic policy is an important element of policy frameworks, as national authorities increasingly seek to engage with the power of global digital platforms. --From publisher's description
