Description

Scholars from across law and internet and media studies examine the human rights implications of today’s platform society in “Human Rights in the Age of Platforms” (Information Policy). The book delves into how major tech companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter influence user opinions, information encounters, debates, privacy maintenance, and more. Contributors explore the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which require businesses to respect human rights and conduct due diligence, yet emphasize that these principles depend on state regulations and corporate compliance. This volume covers topics such as the “datafication” of society, including data extraction models and privacy conceptualization, online advertising practices, content moderation, corporate narratives around human rights, and other platform-specific behaviors. It also discusses the interplay between human rights law and private actors, addressing issues like companies’ human rights responsibilities and content regulation.
