Social media have evolved from a relatively unregulated spaces, to a regulated spaces and a regulating space. In times of crisis, when law often fails to guarantee rights essential to the free expression and the self-determination of people, and potential for emancipation seems to fade, they also represent a space of self-expression and self-regulation, maybe the hope of reinventing a better legal order. Using critical legal theory, this thesis asks whether platform law can qualify as a legal system and if as such, it carries a potential for emancipation, in an empirical analysis based on the case of Palestinian voices on Meta’s social platforms.
