Techno-authoritarianism & copyright issues of user-generated content on social- media
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lawrence Lessig in his book "Code: Version 2.0" presents "code" as the new law and regulator of cyberspace. The influence of code as the new regulator can be seen from the shift in the definition of techno-authoritarianism from state use of information technology to administer digital authoritarianism to corporation sponsored digital imperialism. This corporation sponsored imperialism has widespread implications for users’ rights including the copyright related rights concerning user-generated content on social media platforms. This paper will doctrinally assess the impact of the "terms of use" of social media platforms has on user-generated content from a copyright law perspective. It will also consider whether these terms of use are enforceable from a contract law perspective.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
