These technical and bureaucratic infrastructures, commonly termed \"content moderation\" or \"trust and safety,\" were developed in an effort to keep illegal and harmful material--such as child abuse imagery, hate speech, and incitement to extremist violence--out of sight and out of mind. But recently, they have been mired with scandal, and increasingly are in the public crosshairs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Platform Regulation\u003c\/em\u003e, Robert Gorwa outlines how governments are shaping the emerging space of online safety. Through case studies from Germany, the United States, New Zealand, and Australia, and insights gleaned from ongoing policy debates in Brazil, India, and China, Gorwa explores the domestic and international politics that influence how, why, and when platform regulation comes into being. Going beyond existing work that explores the hidden private rules and practices increasingly shaping our online lives, \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of Platform Regulation\u003c\/em\u003e is a measured empirical and theoretical account of how the state is pushing back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Gorwa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197692869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197692868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Robert Gorwa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898364223743,"sku":"9780197692868","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cbaef9a-b202-46ae-8775-4980b8897979.jpg?v=1721376145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-platform-regulation-robert-gorwa-9780197692868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
