“ In a way, I want TikTok to tell me what I want. . . ” Users’ experience of TikTok as a televisual algorithmic flow
This article revisits Williams’s concept of flow, Firth’s notion of algorithmic flow, and Picone et al.’s concept of Small Acts of Engagement (SAOE) to examine how users experience TikTok’s algorithmic flow. SAOE are understood as low-effort, everyday acts through which users negotiate their identities and shape their digital consumption. While SAOE have been a valuable lens for understanding user agency on earlier social media platforms, we argu…
Transparency as an empty signifier? Assessing transparency in EU and platform initiatives on online political advertising and actors
This paper investigates how the European Union (EU) and online platforms operationalise ‘political advertising’ and ‘transparency’ in a context of ongoing political and policy debates on regulating online platforms. We compare ongoing EU policy initiatives (revised Code of Practice on Disinformation and Regulation on the Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising) against platform policies and practices (Google, Mastodon, Meta, Microsoft…
Free Speech is Not Free Reach”
Cet article analyse les mesures prises par les plateformes de réseaux sociaux en matière de campagnes politiques en ligne. Sont étudiées Meta, Google, Twitter et TikTok, et notamment les types de contenu et de modération que ces plateformes privilégient ainsi que la fréquence des interventions (autodéclarées) dans la lutte contre la désinformation (politique/électorale). Nous analysons leurs politiques en matière de campagnes politiques en ligne …
The European union
This article investigates the EU's global potential leadership and actorness in the development and diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the EU, AI has raised societal and policy concern due to persisting evidence of the technology disregarding ethical principles and fundamental rights. To address these risks, European institutions and politicians project leadership claims for global norms underpinned by a human-centric and rights-based …
Government responses to online disinformation unpacked
This article provides a database of government responses to online disinformation and compares the amount and type of response over time and against the level of democratisation, press freedom, and gross domestic product
Agency and representation in internet governance
Who do you think you are? Individual stakeholder identification and mobility at the Internet Governance Forum
In order for the Internet Governance ecosystem to work effectively, it requires a variety of expertise and advice from different sectors and backgrounds. Drawing on the public Internet Governance Forum (IGF) participation lists from 2006 to 2019, this paper analyses how individual participants chose to identify themselves in the given frameworks applied across the IGFs, and how they ‘travel’ through the Internet Governance ecosystem over successi…
Politicisation of migration issues during the refugee crisis in the UK and Denmark
This article addresses the patterns of politicisation of migration and its implications for European integration, investigating the refugee crisis that coincided with the EU referendums in the UK and Denmark. In this framework, we distinguish three patterns of politicisation -domestic, international, and remote conflict- in which various actors form coalitions, address or target each other while debating migration issues. Empirical results from t…
What is civil society and who represents civil society at the IGF? An analysis of civil society typologies in internet governance
For 15 years, the UN-mandated Internet Governance Forum (IGF) has brought different stakeholder groups together to engage in debate and discussion on public policy issues relevant to Internet Governance, but who are the ‘civil society’ that is treated as one of the cornerstones of the IGF? This paper aims to provide two contributions to discussions on norm entrepreneurship in internet governance. First, it aims to contribute to the growing body o…
Normfare
This special issue is the first to systematically address the activity we call “normfare” - the assiduous development of norms of very different character (public and private, formal and informal, technically mediated and directly implemented) by different actors (platforms, standard-setters, states) as an answer to the wide range of challenges facing internet governance. We bring together contributions from leading anthropologists, technologists…
Power to the people? Evaluating the European Commission’s engagement efforts in EU copyright policy
This paper asks to what extent the European Commission’s stakeholder participation model takes into account non-expert citizen contributions in policy processes pertaining to copyright. In theory, the increasing scale of citizen engagement in stakeholder consultations on copyright could help address the EU’s democratic deficit. The paper analyses the European Commission’s consultation processes in copyright policy across the Barroso 1&2 and Junck…
Of Values and Legitimacy – Discourse Analytical Insights on the Copyright Case Law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) increasingly faces societal value‐conflicts in EU law disputes. For example, in EU copyright law, in the digital age, diverse fundamental values, as well as cultural and societal developments, are at stake. This article discusses the role of the CJEU in the European value discourse, using copyright law as a case study. The methodological approach used, critical discourse analysis, is seldom applie…
Graduated Response In France
Does a policy of escalating consequences for alleged copyright infringements decrease such incidents? Meyer looks at French laws passed in 2009 that provide for graduated responses up to suspension of Internet access for asserted illicit behavior. Preliminary results reported in 2011 suggest that these laws do decrease such incidents. However, Meyer argues this debate is not just about copyright, but is also used for leverage in the Internet gove…
Surveillance and Regulating Code
This paper analyzes a recent policy initiative in France to deter copyright infringement. In 2009, France passed two laws aimed at fighting online piracy through graduated response, a warning and sanction system. Graduated response depends on surveillance of internet uses and encourages technological regulation (code), such as internet filtering and blocking. We analyze the rationales advocated for copyright and the internet and the argumentation…
