Platforms, Content Moderation, and the Hidden Decisions That Shape Social Media
Tarleton Gillespie - 2018-06-26
Goodreads Rating
This book delves into the world of social media content moderation and how it affects public discourse and society as a whole. Award-winning sociologist Tarleton Gillespie explores the rationale behind policies that censor or promote user-posted content, shedding light on a topic that receives too little public scrutiny. Through interviews with content moderators, creators, and consumers, this accessible and timely book is a must-read for anyone who engages with social media.

In his new book, "Custodians of the Internet," @TarletonG does a brilliant job of teasing out the governance work of major tech players vis-a-vis content. Hint: all algo-driven systems are political. So glad this is finally out!      source
