Addressing Misinformation and Disinformation

Corinne Tan & James Meese

Cambridge Elements: Information, Communication and Society

A rigorous analysis of how law can work alongside technical mechanisms and social resilience-building to address the disinformation challenges intensified by generative AI. Argues that legal frameworks alone are insufficient: effective responses require a coherent multi-mechanism approach that keeps humans in the loop of AI moderation, invests in algorithmic literacy, and treats platform design as a regulatory surface. Draws on regulatory experiments from Singapore, the EU, and Australia to build a framework for policymakers and platforms navigating the current governance landscape.

Regulating Content on Social Media

Corinne Tan

Copyright, Terms of Service and Technological Features

An examination of how social media platforms use copyright law, terms of service, and code architecture to shape user-generated content — often sending users mixed signals that nudge them into infringement while claiming neutrality. Demonstrates that platform governance is exercised through technical and contractual mechanisms as much as through law, with significant implications for copyright, free expression, and platform accountability.
