As part of MediaWell’s video essay series on transnational digital governance, tech governance scholar Swati Srivastava (Purdue University) explores the uncertainties of what she calls a “new era of platform governance” – the growing divergence between countries in the Global North, the reality of most users living in the Global South, and how platforms are rethinking how they make decisions about governance, power, and authority. — Swati Srivastava is Associate Professor of Political Science and University Faculty Scholar at Purdue University, Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, and a Non-Resident Scholar on Digital Futures at New America. She is the author of Hybrid Sovereignty in World Politics (2022) as well as the founding director of the International Politics and Responsible Tech (iPART) lab.
