Open-access book on platform governance

Hacker News

Hi there, I'm a political theorist, a professor at Northwestern law school and a founding fellow, board member, etc. of the Integrity Institute. I also was the in-house democratic theorist on Facebook's "civic integrity" (election protection) team for a while, and helped out with the research supporting the creation of the Meta Oversight Board. I just published an academic book with Cambridge University Press bringing together those experiences with research in political science to argue that the way forward for mitigating the harms of big internet platforms and governing user behavior on them is to create global direct democratic institutions for them. You can read the whole book for free on Cambridge's website or by downloading the open-access (license CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0) PDF at the link. If you want a hard copy, you can also buy it in paperback or hardcover.
