Digital Free Expression State, social media and search engines between privatization of control and control of the private sector Aristeidis G. Askitis PhD Candidate in Constitutional Law Aristotle University of Thessaloniki ISBN 978-960-654-240-4 Abstract: The present work confronts the rise and impact of Internet platforms such as search engines and social media on the free expression landscape in Greece and the EU, in regards to the intermediary immunity in between the editor and conduit theory, as well as the emergence of new models of online censorship and the invocation of the right to free speech by the online platforms themselves. Emphasis is placed to the U.S. Supreme Court jurisprudence on the 1st Amendment and the normative interpretation of the freedom of speech and of the press by the American constitutional theory in conjunction with the rights and immunity guaranteed to online providers according to CDA §230.
