Here @dragz and I on “democratic creative destruction” challenging incumbent institutions, creates new ones, and in many ways empower individuals while also leaving both individuals & institutions increasingly dependent on large US-based tech companies cambridge.org/core/books/soc… 2/6
On filter bubbles, this is something @dragz and I have examined e.g.
On social media: dx.doi.org/10.1177/146144…
And search: doi.org/10.1080/216708…
(Often overlooked bigger issue I personally think is inequality - e.g. with @tianyangyt et al pnas.org/content/117/46…)

Here a handbook chapter I've written on the business of news and how the move from low-choice (for news users)/high market power (for publishers) to high-choice (for news users)/low market power (for publishers) and rise of platforms is playing out routledgehandbooks.com/doi/10.4324/97… 5/6
Towards end we briefly discuss media policy. It's for citizens and elected officials to decide what policies they believe are right and command broad support (and think through the consequences and winners/losers). Here some options from a 2019 report reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/what-can-be-do… 6/6
