“…Efforts to restrict online expression began to crystallize after 2010. Led by the EU, Western governments have pressured the world's most important Internet and social media companies (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube) to restrict online expression, threatening criminal and civil penalties for noncompliance (Aswad, 2018; Citron, 2018; Sander, 2020). Companies have responded by instituting tight regulations on “extremist/radical speech”, “hate speech”, and “incitement to violence” (also see, Gorwa, 2019).…”

During the colonial era, liberal Western states established vast empires which came to encompass almost all of the world's Muslims. Western states worked out specific methods for governing Muslims, which were often referred to as "Muslim policy". Recent scholarship on Muslim policy exhibits several key trends. One is expansion of geographical scope, leading scholars to produce more comprehensive global accounts of Muslim policy. Another trend is expansion of temporal scope, leading scholars to systematically link colonial Muslim policy with the governance of Muslims in the post-colonial era. A final trend is the reevaluation of liberal governance. Accordingly, scholars argue that, contrary to conventional assumptions, liberal ideology allows for -or even encourages -imperialism, authoritarianism, ethnocentrism, and racism. The present article makes several new contributions. It provides a synthesis of recent studies on Muslim policy -giving special attention to the key trends mentioned above. Moreover, the article proposes a novel way of conceptualizing Muslim policy. It is argued that Muslim policy centers on three overlapping projects: (1) a "human rights" project (2) a "religious reform" project and (3) a security project akin to what is now known

“…Referring to the requirements for notification in the " The Santa Clara Principles " issued by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the specific content of the platform notification should at least include the content deleted by the platform, how to review the content, the specific review regulations violated by users, Channels and modalities for grievances, relevant time limits for grievance procedures, and other remedies. [16] In this way, the online platform can further supplement its notification content, and include the specific terms of the violation of the information posted by the user, the platform's review procedures, the user's complaint methods and complaint procedures, and the remedies for platform review errors into the platform's notification content. On the other hand, the network platform should use reasonable notification methods to inform users.…”

Online platform information content review rules are the normative basis for platforms to regulate their internal activities and ensure the security of online information content. They are also an important object for platforms to perform their governance responsibilities under the co-governance order and should be reasonably established on the basis of complying with legal provisions. In order to exercise the private power of censorship of illegal information content, online platforms establish rules for censorship of information content based on legal authorization and their own influence, and the operation of this rule should conform to the standard of procedural justice. Specifically, the process of formulating the rules should be transparent while guaranteeing the user's right to participate, and the basic due procedures should be guaranteed in advance when making decisions based on the rules. At the same time, platforms should be required to establish a reasonable content review mechanism. The improvement of the relevant procedures of the information content review rules can enhance the credibility of the platform rules, thereby ensuring the platform autonomy and network governance environment.

“…Advocates often explicitly draw on judicial institutions and procedures 6 : for example, Van Loo (2020) argues platforms should introduce a system of common law-style precedent to make decision-making more consistent, and appeals procedures (potentially including an industry-wide 'platform supreme court': p33) to protect user rights. Authors such as Suzor (2019Suzor ( , 2020, Sander (2019) and De Gregorio (2019Gregorio ( , 2022a additionally emphasise respect for human rights in platforms' substantive policies, and fair procedures as a means to this end, reflecting 'thicker' accounts of the rule of law.…”
