Governing emerging technology
Technology policymakers and regulators face a significant challenge when it comes to the governance of emerging technology. In what is described in technology studies as the Collingridge Dilemma (C...
In Search of a TikTok Baseline - An empirical study of shared cultural experiences on a highly personalised digital platform
This study investigates whether a shared cultural experience—what we term the "TikTok Baseline"—exists among Australian TikTok users. While existing research suggests social media platforms’ recommendation systems contribute to homogenizing users' cultural experiences, TikTok's highly personalized, responsive algorithmic system remains understudied. To map the "TikTok Baseline", we employed a methodological approach that minimized personal data e…
Experts React—The Politics of Technology in Trump's Second Term
Since Trump returned to office, the politics of technology have been on full display: tech billionaires at the White House, new surveillance technologies on the streets, international AI deals, crypto ventures and more. To understand the implications of these developments for our future digital society, I asked technology scholars from around the world for their reactions to what they've seen from the second Trump administration so far. Comment b…
In the style of
This paper addresses the role of copyright in governing how generative AI replicates artistic style. Style is considered to be somewhat intangible and unfixed and is not typically protected by copyright law. Yet, a key affordance of generative AI the ability to create works ‘in the style of’ other works. The legal, creator and industry implications of copying style through generative AI have not yet been the focus of critical analysis or platform…
The Chinese metaverse
This paper explores China's strategic embrace of extended reality (XR) technologies within its digital economy policy framework. Through a content analysis of 45 Chinese government documents, we show how China has positioned XR—which encompasses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR)—within the nation's innovation for economic growth strategy. Our findings reveal that China's policy agenda for XR is strikingly ambitio…
The effectiveness of interventions in reducing economic inactivity for people with long term health conditions and disabilities in the United Kingdom

Mechanisms to Support Interventions Involving the Police When Responding to Persons Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis
Mental health crisis interventions involving police originated in the United States. In England and Wales, street triage services (a UK term used to describe urgent mental health and police interventions) were piloted in 2013. These models involve police and mental health services working together to ensure individuals receive the required support. Evaluation findings have shown inconsistent outcomes based on studies predominately limited to sing…
Data sovereignty
Our contemporary digital lives produce an overwhelmingly high level of data as part of the digital traces we leave behind from our everyday activities. These data traces are often under the operational jurisdiction of a blend of commercial, private and government operators whereby our control over the data generated through digital traces becomes an incredibly complex scenario. One area attracting significant attention among scholars, activists a…
The responsibility to protect online
The pursuit of reducing online harms has become an integral part of both internet and digital platform governance, with states around the world seeking to implement policies and regulatory mechanisms to address the issue at breakneck speed. In this editorial, we suggest the race to have nation states protect citizens from harm online is reminiscent of the era of humanitarian interventionism in international relations. From the 1990s, the urgency …
The pursuit of ‘good’ Internet policy
As our digital society continues to advance, an increasingly diverse array of scholars, policymakers, civic interest groups, companies and regulatory bodies from around the world are seeking to have an increased say in its governance. This diversity makes the challenge of achieving ‘good’ Internet policy more complex and contested. Of course, the notion of 'good Internet policy' raises several important questions: What defines a good Internet pol…
The book’s a conversation starter’
Reading for Wellbeing (RfW) is a pilot initiative, aimed at improving mental health and well-being through supporting access and increasing opportunities to read for pleasure. RfW was implemented across six North-East local authorities in England and employed Community Reading Workers to support access to books and reading for targeted populations. The current study used realist methodology to understand context, potential mechanisms of action, a…
Diversity’ as multidisciplinary keyword for the politics of cultural recommender systems in global digital media platforms
‘Diversity’ is a heavily freighted and multivalent keyword in the global digital media environment. The recommender systems used by platforms are particularly acute sites of development and debate around the political, cultural and technical issues ‘diversity’ signifies. Drawing on a review of computer science publications on recommender systems in media and entertainment as well as a survey of recent advances in media and cultural policy scholar…
Platform Power, Xr, and the Metaverse
While social media platforms continue to dominate the ways in which people connect using computational devices and digital media, a transition towards more immersive platforms and experiences is underway. Extended reality (XR) is the umbrella term for media that enable experiences in augmented, mixed, and virtual reality. Through XR technologies, new digital spaces are being developed that combine features of existing digital platforms with eleme…
Democracy in the digital era
As Yochai Benkler identified almost two decades ago, the internet radically transformed “how we make the information environment we occupy as autonomous individuals, citizens and members of cultural and social groups” (Benkler, 2006, p. 1). This transformation has had critical implications for democratic social and political systems. Our information environment plays an important role in the “health” of a democracy because democratic governance i…
Just a little hack’
As social media platforms adapt their rules to limit the presence, spread, and amplification of harmful content on their services, users develop strategies to circumvent content moderation policies. To better understand cultures of content moderation circumvention, including the types of rules that Facebook users seek to circumvent, we analysed a sample of YouTube videos and Reddit threads in which users discuss content moderation circumvention. …
China's evolving stance against tech monopolies
The digital environment is dominated by monopolistic companies who possess and exercise substantial economic, political and social power to varying degrees. Globally, policymakers are striving to regulate these digital platform companies to address monopoly issues. Through a content analysis of publicly available policy and government documents, company reports, trade press and news media, we investigate key moments in the evolution of anti-monop…
What’s ‘Up Next’? Investigating Algorithmic Recommendations on Youtube Across Issues and Over Time
YouTube’s ‘up next’ feature algorithmically suggests videos to watch after a video that is currently playing. This feature has been criticised for limiting users’ exposure to diverse media content and information sources; meanwhile, YouTube has reported that they have implemented technical and policy changes to address these concerns. Yet, there is limited data to support either the existing concerns or YouTube’s claims. Drawing on the concept of…

Feminist Data Ethics of Care for Machine Learning
This article conceptualises and provides a roadmap for operationalising a feminist data ethics of care framework for the subfield of artificial intelligence (‘AI’) known as ‘machine learning’. After outlining the principles and praxis that comprise our framework, and then using it to evaluate the current state of mainstream AI ethics content, we argue that this literature tends to be overly abstract and founded on a heteropatriarchal world view. …

Anthropometric Identification
Quantitative analysis at local and national level
The formulation of evidence-based policy necessitates rigorous, objective evaluation of policy initiatives and, consequently, there has been a significant growth in evaluation of social policy over the last ten years. Alongside this, there is a recognition that the application of new policy initiatives needs to be flexible in order to be relevant to local populations. As a result, pilots and pathfinders are encouraged to undertake local evaluatio…
