How social media bans can work
There's no evidence social media bans protect kids online. But now that we're here, here are three steps to make the best of a bad situation.
Welcome to Digital Politics
Platforms & Online Safety
Online platforms are at the heart of how people find information, communicate, organize and participate in everyday life. They wield immense power, but remain opaque to outsiders over how they operate.
Digital Politics follows the laws, enforcement choices and corporate decisions worldwide that govern online safety, content moderation, children’s social media access, platform accountability and data access. It examines not only what governments now demand for these platforms, but also whether countries' online safety rules work in reality.
