  • Social Media Companies' Cyberbullying Policies
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 5164–5185 1932–8036/20160005 Social Media Companies’ Cyberbullying Policies TIJANA MILOSEVIC1 University of Oslo, Norway This article examines social media companies’ responsibility in addressing cyberbullying among children. Through an analysis of companies’ bullying policies and mechanisms that they develop to address bullying, I examine the available evidence of the effectiveness of the current self-regulatory system. Relying on the privatization-of-the- digital-public-sphere framework, this article signals concerns regarding transparency and accountability and explains the process through which these policies develop and can influence the perceptions of regulators about what constitutes a safe platform. The article is based on a qualitative analysis of 14 social media companies’ policies and interviews with social media company representatives, representatives of nongovernmental organizations, and e-safety experts from the United States and the European Union. Keywords: cyberbullying, social media, online platforms, intermediaries, digital public sphere, digital bullying, freedom of speech, privacy, e-safety, youth and media, children When 14-year-old Hannah Smith died by suicide, she had allegedly been cyberbullied on Ask.fm (Smith-Spark, 2013). Anonymous questions are a hallmark of the social networking site, available in 150 countries with 150 million users, around half of whom were under 18 at the time (Ask.fm, 2016; Henley, 2013). Ask.fm suffered public rebuke (UK Government and Parliament, n.d.) and the UK prime minister asked its advertisers to boycott the site. Yet, a year after the suicide, the coroner’s report concluded that the girl had been sending harassing messages to herself and no evidence of cyberbullying was found (Davies, 2014).

  • 12750 SIPA Global DFF INT WEB.Indd
    FRAMING Over the last four years, with support from the Carnegie Corporation, Columbia SIPA has embarked on an ambitious initiative to develop new thinking and expertise at the intersection of digital technology, data, public policy and SIPA’s core fields. The Tech & Policy Initiative is engaging leading scholars, CEOs, entrepreneurs, legal and policy experts, and members of civil society to identify and help solve future digital policy challenges in three areas: cybersecurity, internet governance, and the digital economy. This Workshop builds on three previous annual gatherings, called the SIPA Global Digital Futures Policy Forum. Working with scholars at Columbia University and other experts, this year is set up as a “workshop” to invite active participation by all attendees, with lead speakers considering the state of academic and policy research and identifying critical policy issues and questions for the future. The Workshop considers areas that are well known as important for the future as well as emerging digital public policy issues. Over the course of the day, participants will examine selected policy issues of our digital age – notably platforms and governance; international trade; antitrust and the platform economy; internet of things and governance; as well as policy issues related to digital private moneys, digital identities and elections and online advertising. The general topics and confirmed lead speakers are identified below. 1 STATE OF THE FIELD WORKSHOP ON THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION 2018 AGENDA 8:30am – 9am Breakfast

  • Building Bridges: International Trade Law, Internet Governance, and the Regulation of Data Flows
    Building Bridges: International Trade Law, Internet Governance, and the Regulation of Data Flows Neha Mishra* ABSTRACT The regulation of internet data flows touches upon various distinct disciplines including internet governance and international trade law. In internet governance, three fundamental principles, namely, internet openness, internet security, and internet privacy apply to regulation of internet data flows. This Article argues that internet privacy and security, when implemented in a reasoned and transparent manner by different stakeholders, enable internet openness—thus, challenging the dominant perspective that cybersecurity and privacy requirements constrain the free flow of data. Further, this Article introduces a unique perspective by arguing that these three principles (notwithstanding their nonbinding nature) play an important role in applying trade law to data restrictive measures, particularly by facilitating a sound framework that balances domestic internet regulation and liberalised data flows, thus contributing to balancing of trade and non-trade policy goals. Given this important relationship between trade and internet governance, this Article suggests that different options must be explored to enhance dialogue and coordination between these two policy communities so as to build a sound, balanced, and holistic regulatory environment for cross-border data flows. * I acknowledge the support of the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. I thank Tania Voon, Andrew Mitchell, Margaret Young, Jurgen Kurtz, Mia Mikic, Luís Paulo Bogliolo, and Robi Rado for comments on earlier drafts/presentations of this Article. I also thank the editorial team of Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law for their helpful comments and diligent editing. A preliminary draft containing certain parts of the paper was made available as a working paper in the ArtNet Working Paper Series.
