Botero Arcila and Griffin on Social Media Platforms and Challenges for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights @bea_botero @sciencespo

Breatriz Botero Arcila and Rachel Griffin, both of Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), have published Social Media Platforms and Challenges for Democracy, Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights. Here is the abstract.

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee, examines risks that contemporary social media - focusing in particular on the most widely-used platforms - present for democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights. The study focuses on the governance of online content, provides an assessment of existing EU law and industry practices which address these risks, and evaluates potential opportunities and risks to fundamental rights and other democratic values.
