Antisocial media : how Facebook disconnects us and undermines democracy / Siva Vaidhyanathan. by Vaidhyanathan, Siva, author. New York : Oxford University Press, [2018] Subjects Social media -- Political aspects -- United States.   Communication in politics -- Technological innovations -- United States.   Internet addiction -- United States.   Truthfulness and falsehood -- United States. ISBN:  9780190841164 (hardcover) : 0190841168 (hardcover) Description:  276 pages ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "If you wanted to build a machine that would distribute propaganda to millions of people, distract them from important issues, energize hatred and bigotry, erode social trust, undermine respectable journalism, foster doubts about science, and engage in massive surveillance all at once, you would make something a lot like Facebook. Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In Antisocial Media, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that, while it may make personal life just a little more pleasurable, makes democracy a lot more challenging. It's an account of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit, and an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems. And it's an indictment of how "social media" has fostered the deterioration of democratic culture around the world, from facilitating Russian meddling in support of Trump's election to the exploitation of the platform by murderous authoritarians in Burma and the Philippines. Facebook grew out of an ideological commitment to data-driven decision making and logical thinking. Its culture is explicitly tolerant of difference and dissent. Both its market orientation and its labor force are global. It preaches the power of connectivity to change lives for the better. Indeed, no company better represents the dream of a fully connected planet "sharing" words, ideas, and images, and no company has better leveraged those ideas into wealth and influence. Yet no company has contributed more to the global collapse of basic tenets of deliberation and democracy. Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows how Facebook's mission went so wrong."--Publisher's description   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 302.231 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList
