Abstract
Abstract This chapter begins by defining key terms—platform governance, content moderation, and platform regulation. It outlines the book’s core research questions (understanding the factors informing why platform regulation emerges under certain conditions, as well as the character that this regulation takes), and presents the institutionalist approach that underlies the book’s argument. It summarizes the empirical approach of the book, including the more than 75 stakeholder interviews conducted with stakeholders in industry, government, and civil society, as well at the approach for obtaining new government policy documents via freedom of information request. It concludes with an outline of the book’s chapters.
