Book Description
===================
What is the impact of surveillance capitalism on our right to free
speech? The Internet once promised to be a place of extraordinary
freedom beyond the control of money or politics, but today
corporations and platforms exercise more control over our ability to
access information and share knowledge to a greater extent than any
state. From the online calls to arms in the thick of the Arab Spring
to the contemporary front line of misinformation, Jillian York charts
the war over our digital rights. In Silicon Values, leading campaigner
Jillian York looks at how our rights have become increasingly
undermined by the major corporations’ desire to harvest our personal
data and turn it into profit. She also looks at how governments have
used the same technology to monitor citizens and threatened our
ability to communicate. As a result our daily lives, and private
thoughts, are being policed in an unprecedented manner. Who decides
the difference between political debate and hate speech? How does this
impact on our identity, our ability to create communities and to
protest? Who regulates the censors? In response to this threat to our
democracy, York proposes a user-powered movement against the platforms
that demands change and a new form of ownership over our own data.
