Before and after GDPR: tracking in mobile apps Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2021-12-21 Konrad Kollnig,Reuben Binns,Max Van Kleek,Ulrik Lyngs,Jun Zhao,Claudine Tinsman,Nigel Shadbolt
Third-party tracking, the collection and sharing of behavioural data about individuals, is a significant and ubiquitous privacy threat in mobile apps. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced in 2018 to protect personal data better, but there exists, thus far, limited empirical evidence about its efficacy. This paper studies tracking in nearly two million Android apps from before

The perils of legally defining disinformation Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2021-11-04 Ronan Ó Fathaigh,Natali Helberger,Naomi Appelman
EU policy considers disinformation to be harmful content, rather than illegal content. However, EU member states have recently been making disinformation illegal. This article discusses the definitions that form the basis of EU disinformation policy, and analyses national legislation in EU member states applicable to the definitions of disinformation, in light of freedom of expression and the proposed

What rights matter? Examining the place of social rights in the EU’s artificial intelligence policy debate Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2021-09-30 Jędrzej Niklas,Lina Dencik
References to ‘European values’ are often rooted in some perception of a commitment to particular rights that uphold certain principles about democracy and the relationship between state, market and citizens. Whilst rarely translated into consistent policy frameworks or activities, the formulation of new policy areas, such as artificial intelligence (AI), provide a window into what priorities, interests

The new frontier of platform policy Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2021-09-13 Matthew Marinett
Platform policies aimed at the misbehaviour of users that occurs off of the platform, especially offline abuse, are a relatively new and understudied phenomenon that may represent a new frontier of platform policy. Policies of this nature may be necessary to create healthy online communities, but they raise unique problems in comparison to on-platform content moderation that exacerbate existing concerns

Privacy self-management and the issue of privacy externalities: of thwarted expectations, and harmful exploitation Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2020-12-21 Simeon de Brouwer
This article argues that the self-management of one's privacy is impossible due to privacy externalities. Privacy externalities are the negative by-product of the services offered by some data controllers, whereby the price to "pay" for a service includes not just the provision of the user's own personal data, but also that of others. This term, related to similar concepts from the literature on privacy

Personal information management systems: a user-centric privacy utopia? Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2020-12-18 Heleen Janssen,Jennifer Cobbe,Jatinder Singh
Personal information management systems (PIMS) aka personal data stores (PDSs) represent an emerging class of technology that seeks to empower individuals regarding their data. Presented as an alternative to current ‘centralised’ data processing approaches, whereby user data is (rather opaquely) collected and processed by organisations, PDSs provide users with technical mechanisms for aggregating and

Trusted commons: why ‘old’ social media matter Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2020-10-21 P Maxigas,Guillaume Latzko-Toth
The term social media is problematic. As Papacharissi puts it, “all media are social” and “invite [their] own form of sociality” (2015: 1). As a category, the term lacks a clear boundary. Further, using the phrase “social media” as a way to categorise a bound set of digital communication devices may be seen as a negation of the sociality fostered by other technological artifacts that existed prior

From trust in the system to trust in the content Internet Policy Review Pub Date : 2020-10-21 Péter Mezei,Andreea Verteș-Olteanu
The internet is the digital reincarnation of a Greek agora or a Roman forum. It works as a “place” for public and private life. As such, it requires reliable, trustful rules to govern the daily routine of its visitors/users. The governance of the internet has gone through a significant (if not tectonic) change since its standardization. This is clearly reflected by the changes in the concept of trust
