‘Unlike other Research Handbooks that primarily adopt theoretical approaches, this collection of papers effectively bridges the gap between theoretical insights and practical applications, which is to be welcomed. [...] Moreover, its cross-disciplinary approach, incorporating perspectives from law, political science, sociology and cultural studies, enhances its relevance in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.’
