In today's platform-driven world, tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Twitter wield unprecedented power over how we form opinions, access information, and express ourselves online. But who's watching the watchmen? This incisive book examines the human rights implications of this new reality, as contributors from law and internet studies dissect the uneasy tensions between private platform power and public digital rights. Can we maintain fundamental freedoms in an age where our digital lives are managed by for-profit corporations?
