Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe
Penguin Press, 2019
¿De qué se trata?
Facebook may be free, but it costs society, Roger McNamee says, because its ad-based model erodes privacy.
Recommendation
Silicon Valley veteran Roger McNamee argues for tightening government regulation of Facebook and other social media platforms. He maintains that Facebook’s ad-based business model erodes privacy, threatens democracy and degrades “public discourse.” He writes that Facebook was a conduit for Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and a tool of violence against minorities in Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Now, he reports, since Facebook avoided price-based antitrust prosecution, it appears unimpeded by regulatory constraints. McNamee’s alarming account will intrigue readers who wonder if social media is a public threat and, if so, how society and policymakers should respond.
