As the internet has become increasingly platformized, with a small number of technology giants that dominate the global digital economy, concerns about information monopolies, hateful online content, and the impact on media content creators and creative industries have become more marked. Consequently governments, politicians, and civil society are questioning how digital platforms can or should be regulated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this up-to-the-minute study, Terry Flew engages with important questions surrounding platform regulation. Starting from the premise that governance is an inherent feature of digital platforms, he argues that the challenge is to develop the best frameworks for balancing external regulatory oversight with the internal governance practices of platform companies. The intersection of media policy, information policy, and economic policy is an important element of policy frameworks, as national authorities increasingly seek to engage with the power of global digital platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLively and accessible, \u003ci\u003eRegulating Platforms\u003c\/i\u003e is a go-to text for students and scholars of media and communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Tables and Figures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: The End of the Libertarian Internet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: The Platformisation of Communications Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: Issues of Concern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: Digital Platforms and Communications Policy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Platform Regulation and Governance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six: The Chinese Internet and the Future of Global Internet Governance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven: Platform Power and the Future of Internet Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507420426520,"sku":"9781509537082","price":16.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509537082.jpg?v=1786446303","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/regulating-platforms-paperback-softback-9781509537082","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
