*The Politics of Platform Regulation: How Governments Shape Online Content
Moderation*

As digital platforms have become more integral to not just how we live,
but also to how we do politics, the rules governing online expression,
behaviour, and interaction created by large multinational technology firms
--- popularly termed ‘content moderation,’ ‘platform governance,’ or
‘trust and safety’ --- have increasingly become the target of government
regulatory efforts seeking to shape them. In this talk, Robert Gorwa
provides a summary of his first book, forthcoming with Oxford University
Press, which provides a conceptual and empirical analysis of this
important and emerging tech policy terrain of ‘platform regulation.’ How,
why, and where exactly is it happening? Why now? And how do we best
understand the vast array of strategies being deployed across
jurisdictions to tackle this issue?
