Rethinking Rights in Social Media Governance - Why fundamental rights are not enough to remedy the injustices of contemporary social media

Rethinking Rights in Social Media Governance - Why fundamental rights are not enough to remedy the injustices of contemporary social media Griffin, Rachel Author aut (orcid)0000-0002-3925-3975 Text xx# 2022 Verfassungsblog 2022-02-25 eng In the context of the broader ‘techlash’ against the power and exploitative practices of major platforms, EU lawmakers are increasingly emphasising ‘European values’ and fundamental rights protection. But relying only on human rights to guide both social media law and academic criticism thereof is excluding other normative perspectives that place greater emphasis on collective and social interests. This is deeply limiting – especially for critical scholarship and activism that calls for the law to redress structural inequality.
