title: Dreaming Ourselves and Aspirations into Places of Higher Education

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

subjects: Maori

abstract: Dreams and aspirations are at the core of what higher education is about.  Students and scholars alike, the world over, are engaged in the realization of dreams that bring forth new opportunities, new ways of seeing and being and of changing the world. Many Maori students dream of making a difference and see the pursuit of higher education as a way to bring their dreams into reality. Often their dreams reflect family and community aspirations bringing with it a significant burden of responsibility and obligation.  And for Maori academics and researchers like me, my dreams are not too different to those of my own students except that where students pursue a pathway towards becoming relevant, academics are challenged to remain so. In this chapter, I will share some of my/our hopes and experiences and how Maori went about dreaming ourselves into the staff make up, curriculum and research activities in the School of Psychology at the University of Waikato.

title: Disabling access to illegal online content by way of takedowns

authors: Tan, Rachel Sue Yin

abstract: This article discusses the European Union's approach to regulating illegal content and hate speech online. The report "Digital Services Act — deepening the internal market and clarifying responsibilities for digital services" by Sally Broughton Micova and Alexandre de Streel provides an overview of EU law in this context. The e-Commerce Directive serves as a horizontal regulation covering all platforms and types of illegal content. Vertical regulations are also applied for specific content under EU law. The EU aims to update the framework to establish clear responsibilities for digital service providers.

The e-Commerce Directive establishes limited liability for service providers concerning third-party content. This means platforms are responsible for removing flagged or notified illegal content. While methods like artificial intelligence could assist, the complexity of monitoring makes this challenging.

Regulating online hate speech is a complex issue. The author suggests a holistic approach involving society, law, platforms, and users is necessary. Legal scholar Wolfgang Schulz highlights challenges in regulating online harms and the potential erosion of civil liberties. Amendments to laws like NetzDG in Germany reflect attempts to strike a balance between regulation and protecting free speech.
