The purpose of this study is to better understand the processes and procedures adopted by micro-in fl uencers to create ‘ instagrammable ’ content. It is based on 17 in-depth interviews with foodie micro-in fl uencers based in London and Barcelona. Interview data was complemented with participant observation in restaurants or cafes. This paper makes three original contributions. Firstly, the study expands the understanding of the concept of ‘ instagrammability ’ by approaching it from the perspective of in fl uencers creating content to satisfy and/or grow an audience. Secondly, it illustrates how two dominant factors drive in fl uencers ’ content creation process: the self/audience focus content branding orientation. The ‘ audience-focus ’ content development process varied drastically, with some in fl uencers being very conscious of responding to their audiences ’ needs whereas others maintained fi rst and foremost a very strong ‘ self-focus ’ . However, even for the in fl uencers who were the most responsive to their audiences ’ perceived wishes, a sense of ‘ self-focus ’ was maintained as an anchor point in all developed content, often linked to a passion for a certain type of food. Thirdly, this paper maps and describes the behind-the-scenes content creation process adopted by micro-in fl uencers, including four stages (1) Content Planning, (2) Media Gathering , (3) Editing, and (4) Publishing , which was followed by an engagement phase. This study o ff ers a timely contribution to better comprehend the content creation cycle adopted by micro-in fl uencers by using foodie in fl uencers as a case study.

The increasing power of Big Tech is a growing concern for regulators globally. The European Union has positioned itself as a leader in the stride to contain this expansionism; fi rst with the GDPR and recently with a series of proposals including the DMA, the DSA, the AI Act, and others. In this paper we analyse if these instruments su ffi ciently address the risks raised by Big Tech expansionism. We argue that when this phenomenon is understood in terms of ‘ sphere transgressions ’ – i.e., conversions of advantages based on digital expertise into advantages in other spheres of society – Europe ’ s digital regulatory strategy falls short. In particular, seen through the lens of sphere transgressions, Big Tech expansionism raises three risks in addition to well-known privacy and data protection risks, which this regulatory strategy does not properly address. These are: non-equitable returns to the public sector; the reshaping of sectors in line with the interests of technology fi rms; and new dependencies on technology fi rms for the provision of basic goods. Our analysis shows that this mismatch may be inherent to Europe ’ s digital strategy, insofar as it focusses on data protection – while data is not always at stake in sphere transgressions; on political and civil rights – while socio-economic rights may be more at risk; and on fair markets – while the sectors being transgressed into by Big Tech, such as health and education, are not markets that require fairer competition, but societal spheres which need protection from market (and digital) logics.
