About
“One of the leading scholars on Internet control and censorship” explores how Google, Facebook, and Amazon threaten our digital rights—and our democracy (Boston Globe).
Who decides what is permissible on the internet: Politicians? Mark Zuckerberg? Users? Who determines when political debate becomes hate speech? How does this impact our identity or our ability to create communities and to protest?
From the online calls to arms in the thick of the Arab Spring to the contemporary front line of misinformation, Silicon Values reports on the war for digital rights and how major corporations—Facebook, Twitter, Google, and TikTok—threaten democracy as they harvest our personal data in the pursuit of profit.
