Under the project 'Governing the Digital Society', Anna Marieke investigates social media platforms as gatekeepers, influential actors in citizens' access to information. Adopting a human rights-based approach, she investigates the responsibilities of platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, for European citizens' fundamental right to receive information. Anna Marieke considers phenomena such as misinformation, algorithmic personalisation, and content moderation, particularly social media platforms' responsibilities in the light thereof. Her research is interdisciplinary, rooted in media studies and law, and supervised by Prof. José van Dijck and Prof. Janneke Gerards.
