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.

The chapter delves into how vertical interoperability and horizontal interoperability can mitigate the power of network effects enjoyed by dominant platforms and enable an ecosystem where different platforms can compete for users.

We know that the market for personal social networking platforms is concentrated in the hands of a few. How do we combat this issue?
Jhalak Kakkar, Sachin Dhawan & Fawaz Shaheen offers interoperability as a solution in their chapter in the Routledge Handbook of Social Media, Law and Society.
