Dommett, K. orcid.org/0000-0003-0624-6610 (2020) Introduction : regulation and oversight of digital campaigning - problems and solutions. The Political Quarterly, 91 (4). pp. 705-712. ISSN 0032-3179
Abstract
The regulation of digital technology is gaining increased attention within policy making circles. With growing recognition of the power held by digital media companies and the need to enforce democratic values online, policy makers are reviewing opportunities for oversight. Introducing a special section looking at the regulation of digital election campaigning, this article reviews the case for regulatory reform, the proposed type of regulatory change, and the practice of regulatory innovation. Noting the pace of digital change, it argues that there is a need to think more extensively about the design of any regulatory response in order to prevent systems of oversight becoming obsolete.
