Summary

Siva Vaidhyanathan: Anti-social networks

How Facebook divides us and undermines democracy

A call to people to log out of Facebook is spreading through social networks. Why? The answer is found in the book "Antisocial Networks", which is dedicated mainly to the Facebook corporation. After the scandal with its sale of over 80 million personal data to the Cambridge Analytica agency, this social network was put under the critical scrutiny of experts and the US administration. The writer proves that Facebook has become the largest advertising corporation, that it is not the initiator of revolutionary social changes, that it serves authoritarian regimes well and that it wants to become the operating system of our lives. This makes global manipulation possible, which is unacceptable from the point of view of democracy. - Miroljub Radojković, professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade

Fortunately, it seems that we are finally ready to engage in the necessary dialogue about how social media has changed our feelings, thoughts and politics, even if it has led us to difficult topics. This is a real book for modern times. In a straightforward and well-argumented way, he explains why Facebook is good for individuals and bad for democracy. This is history, philosophy and a call to action. - Sherry Turkle, professor in the Department of Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT.
