I’m delighted to say that earlier today I successfully defended my PhD (DPhil) thesis at the Oxford Internet Institute.
The thesis is titled “The responsible governance of hate speech in app stores: The case of Parler” and my examiners were Professors Vicki Nash and Matthias Kettemann.
I’m extremely grateful to the enormous number of people who helped me get this far, including my supervisors Luciano Floridi and Mariarosaria Taddeo, my funder the Alan Turing Institute, colleagues, friends, and family.
