About
Niva Elkin-Koren is a leading scholar at the intersection of law, technology, and intellectual property, with a primary focus on the governance of digital platforms and algorithmic enforcement. Her work critically examines how online intermediaries, such as social media and content-sharing platforms, wield power through automated systems, particularly in copyright enforcement. In her highly influential paper, "Accountability in Algorithmic Enforcement: Lessons from Copyright Enforcement by Online Intermediaries" (2015), which has garnered 25 citations, she exposes the lack of transparency and due process in algorithmic takedown regimes, arguing that these systems often prioritize private interests over public rights. Elkin-Koren’s contributions have shaped policy debates on platform accountability, fair use, and the rule of law in the digital age. She has also been a vocal advocate for reforming copyright law to accommodate user-generated content and algorithmic creativity. Her work is widely cited by legal scholars, technologists, and policymakers, making her a pivotal voice in understanding how law adapts to—and is challenged by—automation. For students and researchers, Elkin-Koren offers a critical lens on the hidden costs of algorithmic governance.
