Description
Echoes and Algorithms: How Social Media is Shaping DemocracyBy RUTHERFORD TAGLAN PAG-YEL.Social media promised to connect us-but has it fractured democracy instead?In this urgent and illuminating book, Echoes and Algorithms reveals how platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and YouTube are reshaping civic life-amplifying polarization, accelerating misinformation, and eroding public trust in elections, institutions, and journalism. It explains how algorithmic systems prioritize outrage over accuracy, how echo chambers form and harden, and why our digital public sphere is increasingly vulnerable to manipulation.Drawing on global case studies, legal frameworks, and design principles, the book tackles:Why truth struggles to survive in viral environmentsHow platform economies drive disinformation at scaleWhat regulation can (and can't) do to protect public discourseHow digital citizenship and civic literacy can empower usersWhat democratic digital design might look like in the future
Balanced, accessible, and deeply researched, Echoes and Algorithms offers not just a diagnosis, but a democratic blueprint for reclaiming our digital spaces-and the civic trust they must support.
