Some excerpts from the acknowledgements: 

“The initial idea for this research project was developed in December 2019 during a meeting of the “Digital Constitutionalism Network” hosted and funded by the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) in Bochum, Germany. This was our last in-person meeting before the pandemic, and, still unaware of the challenges that we would have faced a few months later, we successfully applied for a grant funded by Facebook Research. Our project, entitled ‘Digital Constitutionalism: In Search of a Content Governance Standard’, allowed us to fund part of our research activities during the pandemic and also kept us in contact—a weekly online meeting that we all looked forward to!”

“Finally, we would like to thank the editorial team at Palgrave, the series editor and the anonymous reviewers for their patience and assistance as well as the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) in Bochum, Germany, which allowed us to publish this book in Open Access format.”
