Unravelling Digital Platforms Inquiry and Data Privacy

Influencer Marketing in the Frame

There have been many benefits to society from the global online search behemoth Google and the Facebook social media platforms, but there's also dark side – everything from consumer data privacy issues, fake news and political interference, to advertising market dominance issues.

The far-reaching effects will impact publishing, marketing, the advertising industry as well as influencers and creators. In this podcast Stephen von Muenster, a lawyer who is a founding member of AiMCO specialising in media and marketing, helps unravel some of the details.
