Silicon Values: The Future of Free Speech Under Surveillance Capitalism - Paperback
by Jillian C. York (Author)
The battle for online rights and for the future of democracy
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?
