Previous work
Isadora studied the role of TorrentFreak in standardizing the VPN market and influencing consumer expectations and Canadian attitudes toward mass online surveillance in before and during the pandemic.
She has previously analyzed the legislative/lobbying process leading up to the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the role of Google in interpreting its safe harbor provisions and enforcing it. She argues that Google's decisions paved the way for "deputized mass surveillance" practices and technologies, the effective globalization of American copyright/end of fair use outside WIPO. Isadora empirically analyzed its enforcement using Google transparency reports, and its effect on the academic publishing. Before that she researched the role of the "web 2.0 paradigm" on international political economy and its effects on the concept of citizenship.
