Personal Data and Platform Power from 2014 - 2024: The Right to Be Forgotten

November 01, 2023

Conference Presentation, Berkman Klein Center - Community Seminar Series, Harvard Law School

Overview of nascent book project. Questions addressed included:

  • What have we learned about ‘big tech’, exportation/importation of legal frameworks, and continued colonial exploitation of parts of the Global Majority? How can studying things like ‘meaning making’ help reveal mechanisms/actors at work in this space?
  • How can/should academics write about things like technology and media when there’s a sense that they are changing so quickly? How can we productively avoid and/or harness hope/hype cycles?
