In Antisocial Media, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that makes democracy more challenging. His work includes examples of how Facebook’s mission has gone wrong, including how it facilitated Russian meddling in the 2016 US
presidential election and exploitation of the platform by murderous authoritarians in Burma and the Philippines. Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows how Facebook’s mission went so wrong.
