Public Round Table @ DigiGov Winter School

Department of Political Science, University of Vienna

We will introduce several research projects and discuss which formats are best suited to conduct research on social media.

Around the world many people use social media every day - still it remains opaque which algorithms control their communication and information, which of their data is shared with whom and for what purposes. Recently, several research projects on this even had to be discontinued. For example, Facebook suspended the accounts of NYU researchers, conducting independent public interest research, as well as the accounts of voluntary data donors of a project by Algorithmwatch on Instagram.However, this type of research is urgently necessary to create and implement clear legislation that requires and enables transparency of social media platforms and their providers and users. It is furthermore necessary to empower users in their choices and to learn about post-digital social behaviour and social relations.This public event is organized by the Research Platform &quot;Govenance of Digital Practices&quot; at the University of Vienna, as part of the non-public international Winter School &quot;Taming the iMonster: Regulating digital platforms&quot;.
