“…16 However, in 2016, the use of platform in the sense of a "general online infrastructure or coordination mechanism", including services run by large tech companies for different purposes, also emerged . Dutch media scholar José Van Dijck played a major role in this shift in meaning and approach, by publishing a book on the platform society (De Waal et al ., 2016) with two colleagues in 2016, and in the same year the Oxford Internet Institute organised a conference on the topic, at which Van Dijck was one of the keynote speakers .…”

This paper presents the European regulation of platforms. In its first part, it reconstructs the process by which the concept of ‘platform’ in information technology and marketing have evolved and become a legal concept. This emerged from the mid-2010s, first in amendments of sectoral rules and later in sui generis platform rules. The second part of the paper argues that these rules can be interpreted as an emerging separate area of law, the ‘European platform law’. One of the most important ultimate justifying principles and purposes of this legal corpus is the protection of users. This is achieved through a number of tools, some of which are legal transplants from other legal areas (such as consumer protection), while others are sui generis legal rules created specifically for platforms, such as the protection of user accounts or the explainability and transparency of algorithms.

“…First, social media allows citizens and politicians to circumvent 'establishment' media outlets and filters and be less dependent on journalists as their mouthpiece. Second, social media algorithms are designed in such a way that content is selected not on the basis of journalistic quality standards (which occurred in the previous media ecology), but instead favor content that is popular, as measured by user interaction, viewer duration, and clickthrough (van Dijck et al, 2016, as cited in Hopster, 2021. Social media also invites a populist style of communication because of 'low-level' affordances such as short length requirements on Twitter and Weibo (which make it easy to create simple messages which is a characteristic of populist discourse), and 'like' buttons which drive emotional appeals, receive a lot of interaction, and reach larger audiences.…”

US government communication about the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the ‘Chinese virus’ discourse adopted by Donald Trump and his administration, has led to real-world violence and triggered heated discussions across social media sites, including Sina Weibo (aka Chinese Twitter). The current study explores the relationship between populism and social media by examining how Sina Weibo users respond to Trump’s communication on the virus. Employing multimodal critical discourse analysis, we examine both visual and verbal strategies used to build counter-discourses that challenge the use of terms such as ‘Chinese virus’. Findings demonstrate the potential of Weibo as a platform of resistance and site where users contest social injustice and racism, but also as a dangerous space in which populist discourses can yield more populist discourses which influence public sentiment and potentially government policies and international relations.

Perspectives on Justice in the Future Energy System: A Dutch Treat

Shaping an Inclusive Energy Transition

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The (un)affordability, the (un)reliability and the (un)sustainability of our energy supply are increasingly associated with the phenomenon of energy justice. This concerns the way in which different groups of citizens and businesses experience the benefits and burdens of the energy transition. We explore how the concept of energy justice may support a just transition. Firstly, we address the socio-political embedding of the energy sector and policy-making. Then we explain how the concept of energy justice is defined and operationalized, in respect of policy making and implementation. Thereupon we apply the concept of energy justice to the current Dutch energy debate, addressing the reduction of natural gas production to diminish the number and strength of earthquakes in Groningen, and the longer-term policy objectives of the energy transition. It addresses the radical changes in energy use and supply and the consequent wide variety in direct and indirect consequences for citizens and businesses, depending on their specific circumstances. The notion of energy justice is discussed as a feature in local, national and EU policy making and implementation, and as a claim of social actors, communities and individuals. The suggestion that justice issues can be identified and solved at these levels, is too simple. It is important to consider the layout and nature of the socio-technical energy system and its functioning. It is concluded that the concept of justice may help researchers to identify the relevant values and value conflicts in the energy transition. This can help policymakers to make informed choices.
