Social Media Governance

"Social Media Governance" explores the complex challenges of regulating online platforms in the digital age. It examines the tension between freedom of expression, platform responsibility, and government oversight. The book argues that effective social media governance requires a multi-stakeholder approach, balancing the rights and responsibilities of platforms, governments, and users. One intriguing fact is the diverse range of regulatory approaches worldwide, from the EU's Digital Services Act to content moderation laws in various countries. This highlights the global struggle to manage online speech effectively.

The book begins by establishing a theoretical framework, drawing from political science, law, and communication studies. It then analyzes specific platform policies, such as those related to hate speech and misinformation, and examines the legal and regulatory landscapes in different regions. Case studies of content moderation decisions illustrate the challenges platforms face in balancing conflicting values. By evaluating the impact of these policies on political participation and democratic institutions, "Social Media Governance" offers a nuanced perspective on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
