Abstract

The study analyzed trends and implications of current policy reform for data collection, analysis and sharing via web-based platforms. In particular, it interrogated emerging regulatory frameworks that shape, constrain or advance citizens’ control over data that concerns them and that affects their lives. It focused on policy change in the UK and EU, particularly the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Investigatory Powers (IP) Act and Digital Economy (DE) Act, as a political and economic environment where rapid change in both platform and data policies is emerging.
