The Routledge Handbook of Social Media, Law and Society provides an international survey of social media and the law in society, blending academic, non-academic, and non-governmental expertise to provide a thematic overview of social media and the law across a number of jurisdictions.

Offering an international thematic view which examines social media and the law in the context of international research, the book addresses such topics as politics and social media, online safety developments, and digital constitutionalism amongst a range of others. With contributions from experts across disciplines, the book is a topical contribution to the field, detailing online harms, fake news, misinformation and disinformation, hate speech and gender-based violence on social media. Additionally, the book covers social media, elections and electoral violence, feminist perspectives on social media, alongside children and social media, online safety, and responsibility and liability.

Providing an analysis of the full spectrum of current issues in social media and the law, the Routledge Handbook of Social Media, Law and Society is an essential resource for advanced students, researchers, academics and industry experts.
