Gillespie – Studying What Platforms Don’t Necessarily Want to Talk About (PGMT Online Talk Series)

Tarleton Gillespie: Studying What Platforms Don’t Necessarily Want to Talk About May 9, 2023 This talk is part of the series Behind the Scenes – Conversations on Empirical Platform Governance Research. It is hosted by the Lab “Platform Governance, Media, and Technology” (PGMT) at the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI), University of Bremen, and the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen. Abstract: The qualitative study of platforms and their policies is hampered, obviously, by access. Tech companies are typically extremely cautious about who they speak to, what they speak about, and how frank they can be. In his input talk, Tarleton will talk through some of these challenges, and how he navigated them when writing the paper “Do Not Recommend: Reduction as a Form of Content Moderation” (Social Media & Society, August 2022). We will discuss more broadly the challenges of talking to platform companies about policies they should be transparent about, but in practice are and are not, in tricky ways. Presenting Author: Tarleton Gillespie is a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research New England, part of the Social Media Collective, Microsoft Research’s team of sociologists, anthropologists, and communication & media scholars studying the impact of sociotechnical systems on social and political life. Tarleton also retains an affiliated Associate Professor position with Cornell University, where he has been on the faculty for nearly two decades.
