Abstract

This dissertation weaves together insights from labor history and role theory to enrich our understanding of platform governance. It examines user data rights, content moderation, and privacy law through the lens of democratic participation, drawing parallels between the demands of industrial workers for collective voice and the needs of digital users today. Across these domains, the work reveals how law not only responds to existing social roles but also scripts them, with profound implications for individual identity, online governance, and democratic participation.
