Over the last decade or two, a handful of powerful, monopolist
platforms have embraced our lives worldwide. They intermediate our
socialities and relationships, what we search for on the Internet,
and our online purchases. We are living in a global economy that is
fuelled by the monetization of affect. One is now only too aware
that various platforms are very systematically using the advantages
stemming from algorithmic power and platform externalities to mine
and privatize personal data that is in turn sold to advertisers who
target not just the present but also future economic behaviours of
users. One now also hears of the complicity of some of these
platforms in data breaches that have contributed to the making and
unmaking of political fortunes of key political parties across
geographies. This unprecedented power of platforms is, however,
being challenged today. Data breaches, evidence of platform
manipulations, platform complicities with state surveillance, and
their monopolist behaviours and its consequences for competition
and data privacy have become the basis for regulatory responses
from governments throughout the world. National and regional courts
of law have collected a lot of evidence on myriad forms of platform
illegalities that discriminate against competitors and that point
to the privatization of personal data on a global scale. The
proposed volume provides an introduction to some of the issues and
challenges related to platform regulation, the conundrums and
paradoxes involved, and also to some of the well-conceived and
manageable regulatory pathways currently being explored by national
and regional governments. It highlights regulatory responses from
four jurisdictions - the European Union, USA, India, and Australia.
