Illegal content remains a persistent and growing issue on the internet. This book reviews seven problematic areas - defamation, hate speech, terrorist content, copyright, counterfeit, unsafe products and food - to illustrate that the fight against unlawful content on online platforms in the EU is hampered by fragmented and outdated laws. Meanwhile, the global internet companies that govern our digital spaces enforce their own policies, based on commercial objectives, and with secondary regard for public values and individuals’ rights. The book subsequently charts out a solution of how EU lawmakers can bring social media and the like to take on adequate responsibilities for protecting users and public interests. The author argues that a safety-by-design approach, supported by technical standards, can be an effective way for implementing these new duties. Carsten Ullrich is a legal researcher at the University of Luxembourg, where he works on the regulation of digital technologies. The doctoral thesis on which this book is based was awarded the Rolf Tarrach Prize 2021 for the best dissertation in Luxembourg.

Book Review Essay

AbstractDespite the large quantity and wide variety of popular science books available in biology, most undergraduate biology majors seldom read full-length books outside of class. To ensure that the students in my Writing in Biology class are exposed to such books, I assign a book review essay and provide an annotated list of a few dozen books in genetics, evolution, and other areas of biology. The assignment also includes a section on the book author’s style, in which students use material discussed earlier in the class. Informal presentations of the books provide opportunities for various discussions. The assignment (including the list of books) is included in an Additional file 1.

Use Of Social Media

The aim of this chapter is to extend the conversation surrounding social media in music education to include economic justice and ecological sustainability and to begin the work of evaluating social media’s potential for cultural and environmental conservation. It is argued that such practices can constitute “the good” when they emerge from an awareness of concepts such as community and commons, or, in short, when they utilize convivial tools. The relevant terminology is described, followed by a virtual “field trip” through various social media used by music educators. Using commons (shared culture and place) as models, the authors analyze and evaluate practices. Their definitions and evaluations can help guide music education social media scholars yearning to adopt more critical directions in the interests of equality and sustainability. The chapter concludes with some guidelines for an approach to music education intended to promote economic and social equality and ecological conservation. With conscious and sustained effort, music teachers and learners can use social media as convivial tools to strengthen communities, promote ecological literacy and sustainability, and satisfy basic human needs. The potential is there. It requires guarding against “the bad” and “the ugly,” the development of false needs and waste. Aware of eco-literate responsibilities, music teachers can guide students, and their colleagues as well, to be wise in their use of social media and material resources.
