Antisocial Media by Siva Vaidhyanathan
How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy
This insightful exploration delves into the pervasive influence of a major social media platform on global society, examining its role in shaping public discourse, spreading misinformation, and impacting democratic processes. The narrative critiques the platform's business model, which prioritizes engagement and profit over truth and civic responsibility, leading to a fragmented and polarized public sphere. Through a blend of historical context and contemporary analysis, the book underscores the urgent need for accountability and reform to mitigate the platform's detrimental effects on society.
