Big Data and Digital Markets Contestability: Theory of Harm and Data Access Remedies

Jan Kramer et al.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of user data in digital markets and proposes policy proposals to address concerns about the dominance of data-rich incumbents. It presents a data-driven theory of harm that supports the need for ex-ante data access regulation, emphasizing the importance of niche entry and growth in digital markets with strong data-driven network effects. The article evaluates regulatory data access remedies, discussing limitations on data collection by incumbents and proposing the sharing of broad anonymized raw user data and real-time data portability as complementary approaches. The European Commission's Digital Markets Act is also commented on in light of these findings.

Policing faces: the present and future of intelligent facial surveillance

Lachlan Urquhart et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the current and future uses of intelligent facial surveillance (IFS) in law enforcement, focusing on live automated facial recognition technologies (LFR) in British policing and the implications of the proposed EU Al Regulation (AIR) on shaping future uses of IFS. Frontline police officers' concerns and optimism around LFR are analyzed, as well as emerging forms of IFS such as emotional AI (EAI). The paper offers practical lessons for informing future law enforcement use of IFS in the UK and beyond.

Global prevalence of digital addiction in general population: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Shi-Qiu Meng et al.

Summary: This meta-analytic review aimed to synthesize the global prevalence characteristics of digital addiction in the general population. The results showed that the global prevalence rates of smartphone addiction, social media addiction, Internet addiction, cybersex addiction, and game addiction were 26.99%, 17.42%, 14.22%, 8.23%, and 6.04% respectively. Higher prevalence of digital addiction was found in the Eastern Mediterranean region and low/lower-middle income countries, and males had a higher risk for Internet and game addiction. There was an increasing trend of digital addiction over the past two decades, which worsened significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides the first and comprehensive estimation of the global prevalence of multiple subtypes of digital addiction, which varied between regions, economic levels, time periods of publication, genders, and assessment scales.

Frantz Rowe et al.

Summary: This paper discusses how the IS field can best contribute to the Social Welfare Computing research agenda and uses Amazon.com as a case study. The analysis suggests that traditional IS research may have blind spots in assessing the potential harms of digital business activities. Therefore, future research should focus on studying corporate behaviors.

The Cooperation Paradox-forming a single coalition in order to increase, rather than decrease, the number of economically viable alternatives

Eric K. Clemons et al.

Summary: American online platforms such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, which dominate the market, have become Life Control Interfaces. They create costs for European firms, limit access to customers, charge for access or data, and indirectly raise prices for consumers. To increase consumer choice, regulators should encourage the establishment of a consortium to provide a single EU-based Life Control Interface.

Algorithmic audiencing: Why we need to rethink free speech on social media

Kai Riemer et al.

Summary: Social media platforms like Facebook have become the modern-day agora for public discourse, raising concerns about freedom of speech and the need for better regulation. While the current debate focuses on content moderation, it overlooks the impact of algorithms on audience engagement with speech. This phenomenon, termed 'algorithmic audiencing', interferes with free speech by determining who will hear certain messages, ultimately distorting the exchange of ideas in public discourse.

AVOIDING AN OPPRESSIVE FUTURE OF MACHINE LEARNING: A DESIGN THEORY FOR EMANCIPATORY ASSISTANTS

Gerald C. Kane et al.

Summary: The article discusses the potential oppressive future of widespread use of machine learning systems, proposing the concept of an emancipatory assistant (EA) to help users achieve emancipatory outcomes in the oppressive environment of Informania. With emancipatory pedagogy as the core theory, design principles are developed for both near-term and long-term future, aiming to protect users from oppression by engaging in adversarial relationship with oppressive ML platforms when necessary. The principles encourage IS researchers to expand the possibilities for responding to the influx of ML systems, and theorize about the long-term consequences of emerging technologies on society.

SHINING A LIGHT ON DARK PATTERNS

Jamie Luguri et al.

Summary: Dark patterns are user interfaces designed to confuse or manipulate users by exploiting cognitive biases, prompting them to make purchases or disclose personal information against their actual preferences. Studies show that users exposed to dark patterns are more likely to sign up for services, especially those with lower education levels. Strategies like hidden information, trick questions, and obstruction are particularly manipulative and potentially unlawful.

A Tidal Wave of Inevitable Data? Assetization in the Consumer Genomics Testing Industry

Susi Geiger et al.

Summary: Consumer genomics companies market genetic testing services to consumers as a source of fun, altruism, belonging, and knowledge, while also engaging in digital capitalism through data brokerage. By assetizing the pool of genomic data they collect, they must obscure uncertainties that could affect the data aggregation process to maintain profitability. This balance raises questions about their market practices and calls for alternative market arrangements to mitigate extractive tendencies in digital health firms.
