“…The first objection might be the following: Citizens are not dominated by social media companies because democratic states extensively regulate digital platforms (Busch et al, 2018). States’ regulation of social media platforms is non-trivial, covering many areas including data protection, copyright, child pornography, public incitement to crime, and propaganda of unconstitutional organizations (Karaboga, 2018; Tworek and Leerssen, 2019). As democratic states are substantially controlled by citizens, the objection suggests that citizens are indirectly drawing the boundaries of social media companies’ powers.…”

This article argues that social media companies’ power to regulate communication in the public sphere illustrates a novel type of domination. The idea is that, since social media companies can partially dictate the terms of citizens’ political participation in the public sphere, they can arbitrarily interfere with the choices individuals make qua citizens. I contend that social media companies dominate citizens in two different ways. First, I focus on the cases in which social media companies exercise direct control over political speech. They exercise quasi-public power over citizens because their regulation of speech on social media platforms implies the capacity to arbitrarily interfere with citizens’ democratic contestation in the political system. Second, companies’ algorithmic governance entails the capacity to interfere with citizens’ choices about what mode of discursive engagement they endorse in their relationships with fellow citizens. By raising the cost of deliberative engagement, companies narrow citizens’ choice menu.

La structure argumentative d’un demi-siècle de politique européenne de protection des données à caractère personnel

Malgré les profondes transformations intervenues depuis l’adoption des premières lois de protection des données personnelles dans les années 1970, tant sur le plan technique que sur le plan politique, les dispositions en vigueur dans les textes actuels, au premier desquels le Règlement général de protection des données adopté en 2016, en reprennent les principaux principes et définitions. Le présent article s’appuie sur les approches cognitives des politiques publiques pour montrer comment cette forte continuité s’explique en large part par la stabilité de la structure argumentative des débats au sein des arènes où s’élaborent ces textes.
