"This book highlights the theory and practice of platform regulation. Digital platforms, until recently, were left to self-regulate - although a series of scandals from Brexit and the role played by Cambridge Analytica to the manipulation of voters during the Trump presidency along with evidence of the non-payment of taxes by platforms in the jurisdictions in which they operate in and anti-competitive behaviours have led to the global recognition of the power of platforms to set political, economic and other agendas. This volume explores nascent attempts to regulate Big Tech including the likes of Google and Facebook Meta by the State and super-States such as the EU. Beginning with chapters on the regulatory moment and the power of platforms it explores specific cases of platform regulation. This includes separate chapters on the expansive attempts to regulate Big Tech in the EU and enable citizen control over their data reflected in the moves to legislate the 'right to be forgotten', anti-trust in the USA, the equalisation levy in India and the Digital Platforms Enquiry in Australia and its recommendations that platforms compensate legacy media for publishing content online. Backed by a fulsome exploration of context, geo-politics, platform power and the attempts by the State to control platforms, this volume also highlights the contradictory role played by the State in both benefiting from and regulating Big Tech. It concludes with a chapter on the challenges and opportunities of platform regulation"-- Provided by publisher.
