    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), Book Review 4169–4172 1932–8036/2019BKR0009 Roger McNamee, Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe, New York, NY: Penguin Press, 2019, 352 pp., $28 (hardcover). Reviewed by Heidi E. Huntington West Texas A&M University, USA In 2016, Roger McNamee, a longtime tech insider and venture capitalist, began to notice something unusual happening on Facebook. He observed a rise in viral images and other fear- and anger-based content coming from political-oriented Facebook groups. His hunch was that “bad actors were exploiting Facebook’s architecture and business model to inflict harm on innocent people” (p. 5). As a onetime mentor to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, McNamee felt he had to do something. Shortly before the 2016 U.S. election, McNamee reached out to Zuckerberg (whom he had advised not to sell Facebook back in 2006) and to COO Sheryl Sandberg (whom McNamee had suggested for the job) to alert them to his observations. Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe tells the story of McNamee’s efforts to convince Facebook to change tactics regarding some key aspects of its platform to be more socially responsible, and his subsequent, unlikely journey into anti-Facebook activism when his concerns went unanswered among Facebook’s executives. A tech advocate, McNamee likens himself to Jimmy Stewart’s character in the classic 1954 film Rear Window, unwittingly drawn into taking an active role in an ongoing crisis. Zucked is part personal narrative, part doomsday prophecy, and part call to action. Its focus is also ultimately broader than a critique of Facebook alone, using McNamee’s experience with Facebook as an entry point to examine the role of big tech companies in society more generally.

  • The Law of Facebook
    The Law of Facebook Ashutosh Bhagwat* Twenty-six years ago, Eugene Volokh published his seminal article Cheap Speech and What It Will Do, predicting many of the consequences of the then-brand-new Internet. On the whole, Volokh’s tone was optimistic. While many of his predictions have indeed come true, many would argue that his optimism was overstated. To the contrary, in recent years Internet giants generally, social media firms specifically, and Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg more specifically, have come under sharp and extensive criticism. Among other things, Facebook has been accused of violating its users’ privacy, of failing to remove content that constitutes stalking or personal harassment, of permitting domestic and foreign actors (notably Russia) to use fake accounts to manipulate American voters by disseminating false and misleading political speech, of failing to remove content that incites violence, and of excessive censorship of harmless content. Inevitably, critics of Facebook have proposed a number of regulatory solutions to Facebook’s alleged problems, ranging from regulating the firm’s use of personal data, imposing liability on Facebook for harm caused by content on its platform, treating Facebook as a utility, to even breaking up the company. Given the importance of Facebook, with over two billion users worldwide and a valuation of well over half a trillion dollars, these proposals raise serious questions. This Essay will argue that while Facebook is certainly not free of fault, many of the criticisms directed at it are overstated or confused. Furthermore, the criticisms contradict one another, because some of the solutions proposed to solve one set of problems — notably privacy — would undermine our ability to respond to other problems such as harassment, * Copyright © 2021 Ashutosh Bhagwat.

  • The Separation of Platforms and Commerce
    THE SEPARATION OF PLATFORMS AND COMMERCE Lina M. Khan* A handful of digital platforms mediate a growing share of online commerce and communications. By structuring access to markets, these firms function as gatekeepers for billions of dollars in economic activity. One feature dominant digital platforms share is that they have inte- grated across business lines such that they both operate a platform and market their own goods and services on it. This structure places domi- nant platforms in direct competition with some of the businesses that de- pend on them, creating a conflict of interest that platforms can exploit to further entrench their dominance, thwart competition, and stifle innovation. This Article argues that the potential hazards of integration by dominant tech platforms invite recovering structural separations. Separations regimes limit the lines of business in which a firm can engage, either by proscribing entry in certain markets or by requiring that distinct lines of business be operated through separate affiliates. Previously implemented both as a standard regulatory intervention and key antitrust remedy in network industries, structural separations have been largely abandoned. At the same time that lawmakers have weak- ened or eliminated sector-specific regulatory regimes, judicial interpre- tation of antitrust law has drastically narrowed the forms of vertical conduct and structures that register as anticompetitive. And when antitrust enforcers have targeted these forms of conduct and structures, they have applied remedies that generally (1) fail to target the under- lying source of the problem and (2) overwhelm the institutional capacities of the actors assigned to oversee them. Neglecting struc- tural remedies results in both substantive harms and institutional * Academic Fellow, Columbia Law School.
