Content Governance Dilemma
Digital Constitutionalism, Social Media and the Search for a Global Standard
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
491 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This open access book is one of the first academic works to comprehensively analyse the dilemma concerning global content governance on social media. To date, no single human rights standard exists across all social media platforms, allowing private companies to set their own rules, values and parameters. On the one hand, this normative autonomy raises serious concerns, primarily around whether companies should be permitted to establish the rules governing free speech online. On the other hand, if social media platforms simply adopted international law standards, they would be compelled to operate a choice on which model to follow, and put in place mechanisms to uphold these general standards. This book examines this topic from a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing from the expertise of the authors in law, political science and communication studies. It provides a carefully reconstructed theory of the content governance dilemma, as well as pragmatic solutions for companies and policymakers. In this way, the book not only benefits academics by advancing the debate on content moderation issues, but also informs new policies and regulatory strategies by offering an up-to-date overview of rules and tools for content moderation, as well as an evaluation of their current level of compliance with standards emerged in international human rights law and digital constitutionalism initiatives.

In a digital world saturated with synthetic media and AI-shaped narratives, the quest for trustworthy public information has never been more urgent. Governing Public Information in the Age of AI explores how blockchain can strengthen the integrity of online communication at a moment when traditional platforms struggle to keep pace with algorithmic manipulation.Based on extensive field research, developer insights and real-world use cases, the book traces how distributed ledgers, tokenized incentives and decentralized identity tools can help verify content, track provenance and support more authentic exchanges across social networks. It unpacks both the promise and the limits of these systems, offering a clear look into emerging models that seek to counter deepfakes, misinformation and automated persuasion.Engaging and timely, the book will appeal to policymakers and scholars searching for practical ways to rebuild public confidence in information environments facing unprecedented disruption.
