This book explores to what extent constitutional principles are put
under strain in the social media environment, and how
constitutional safeguards can be established for the actors and
processes that govern this world: in other words, how to
constitutionalise social media. Millions of individuals around the
world use social media to exercise a broad range of fundamental
rights. However, the governance of online platforms may pose
significant threats to our constitutional guarantees. The chapters
in this book bring together a multi-disciplinary group of experts
from law, political science, and communication studies to examine
the challenges of constitutionalising what today can be considered
the modern public square. The book analyses the ways in which
online platforms exercise a sovereign authority within their
digital realms, and sheds light on the ambiguous relationship
between social media platforms and state regulators. The chapters
critically examine multiple methods of constitutionalising social
media, arguing that the constitutional response to the global
challenges generated by social media is necessarily plural and
multilevel. All topics are presented in an accessible way,
appealing to scholars and students in the fields of law, political
science and communication studies. The book is an essential guide
to understanding how to preserve constitutional safeguards in the
social media environment.
