Global Platform Governance

A field-defining playbook for identifying and responding to the global regulatory challenges created by large digital platforms

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 propose a framework that addresses digital platforms in four themes: 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 wide-ranging analysis of issues related to platform governance. Along the way, it pushes scholarly, practitioner, and policymaker communities to address the global nature of platforms and to take seriously the many approaches to regulating them beyond the transatlantic.
