Resumo: | A common position amongst social media platforms and online content aggregators is their resistance to being characterized as media companies. Rather, companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter have regularly insisted that they should be thought of purely as technology companies. This paper critiques the position that these platforms are technology companies rather than media companies, explores the underlying rationales, and considers the political, legal, and policy implications associated with accepting or rejecting this position. As this paper illustrates, this is no mere semantic distinction, given the history of the precise classification of communications technologies and services having profound ramifications for how these technologies and services are considered by policy-makers and the courts. |

Ao contrário, empresas como Google, Facebook e Twitter tem constantemente insistido que deveriam ser pensadas como puramente empresas de tecnologia. Este artigo critica a opinião que estas plataformas são empresas de tecnologias ao invés de empresas de mídia, explora seus argumentos subjacentes e considera as implicações políticas, legais e regulatórias associadas com o aceite ou recusa desta opinião. Como o artigo ilustra, não é apenas uma distinção semântica, dado que o histórico de classificação precisa de tecnologias e serviços da comunicação possui profundas implicações em como estas tecnologias e serviços da comunicação são avaliadas por decisores políticos e tribunais.Parágrafo2018-06-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.fiamfaam.br/index.php/recicofi/article/view/724Parágrafo; v. 6 n. 1 (2018): 11a Edição: Revista Parágrafo: Janeiro-Abril de 2018; 143-1632317-4919reponame:Parágrafoinstname:Centro Universitário FIAM-FAAMinstacron:FIAMFAAMporhttps://revistaseletronicas.fiamfaam.br/index.php/recicofi/article/view/724/565Copyright (c) 2018 Parágrafoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNapoli, PhilipCaplan, Robyn2018-07-02T16:27:12ZRevistahttps://revistaseletronicas.fiamfaam.br/index.php/recicofiPRI |
