Shaping Company Responsibility: Privatized Public Sphere
Shaping Company Responsibility: Privatized Public Sphere
This chapter surveys social media platforms whose policies are examined in this book and gives an overview of critical research on the increasing role of private intermediaries in regulating digital environments (DeNardis, 2014), placing this information against the safe harbor provisions of the CDA and DMCA, which ensure limited liability for online intermediaries. The brief company profiles are meant to provide an overview for those readers who are not familiar with these companies and their history in relationship to bullying incidents. Following Gillespie (2010, 2015) and van Dijck (2013), the chapter examines the literature on discourses of platforms.
Keywords: online platforms, technological affordances, self-regulation, (online) intermediaries, Gillespie, van Dijck, DeNardis
