Terry Flew is Professor of Digital Communication and Culture at the University of Sydney.
‘Platforms don't make us do things – they shape the ways in which
we can do things. Fearing a loss of legitimacy and control,
policymakers all over the world jump into action. The question is:
what kind of internet will we end up with? Terry Flew carefully
considers the road travelled and charts the road ahead.’
Mark Deuze, University of Amsterdam, author of Media Life
‘This well-written book, framed by a history of ideas, takes the
measure of the current debate on platform power. Its focus on
national regulatory responses by states with diverse and sometimes
competing political systems captures the moment.’
Philip Schlesinger, University of Glasgow
