Anti-Social Media

Siva Vaidyanathan's "Anti-Social Media" provides a critical analysis of the impact of social media platforms on democracy and society.

The book examines how these platforms have been used to spread misinformation, erode trust in institutions, and fuel political polarization.

Vaidyanathan explores the business models of social media companies and their incentives to prioritize engagement over truth.

He argues that these platforms have created an environment where harmful content thrives and democratic discourse is undermined.

The book offers recommendations for reforming social media and restoring a healthier public sphere.
