Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness
Autor Newton Leeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 feb 2022
This book explores total information awareness empowered by social media. At the FBI Citizens Academy in February 2021, I asked the FBI about the January 6 Capitol riot organized on social media that led to the unprecedented ban of a sitting U.S. President by all major social networks. In March 2021, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared before Congress to face criticism about their handling of misinformation and online extremism that culminated in the storming of Capitol Hill.
With more than three billion monthly active users, Facebook family of apps is by far the world's largest social network. Facebook as a nation is bigger than the top three most populous countries in the world: China, India, and the United States. Social media has enabled its users to inform and misinform the public, to appease and disrupt Wall Street, to mitigate and exacerbate the COVID-19 pandemic, and to unite and divide a country.
Mark Zuckerberg once said, "We exist at the intersection of technology and social issues." He should have heeded his own words. In October 2021, former Facebook manager-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen testified at the U.S. Senate that Facebook's products "harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy."
This book offers discourse and practical advice on information and misinformation, cybersecurity and privacy issues, cryptocurrency and business intelligence, social media marketing and caveats, e-government and e-activism, as well as the pros and cons of total information awareness including the Edward Snowden leaks.
"Highly recommended." - T. D. Richardson, Choice Magazine
"Parents in particular would be well advised to make this book compulsory reading for their teenage children..." - David B. Henderson, ACM Computing Reviews

Recenzii
From the reviews:
“Newton Lee’s book, Facebook Nation: Total Information Awareness, is a great book for social media experts, offering a comprehensive look at Facebook in the context of social media, and covering privacy well. Facebook Nation is full of facts, stories, and quotes that will give you plenty to talk about with clients and co-workers. You can open any page of this book and read something that is interesting and worth knowing about social media. ... The chapters on facial-recognition technology, ambient social apps collecting data on you constantly, and other insights about your digital footprint will give you plenty to think about. ... Facebook Nation is the most thoroughly researched book I have seen about Facebook. ... Facebook Nation is a must have for the social media expert’s bookshelf. The wealth of facts contained in the book make it worth buying, and anyone active in the social space should be aware of the privacy considerations related to what they are building.” (Will M., AllFacebook.com, January, 2013)
“The author illustrates the pervasiveness of Facebook with stories of people addicted to using it. … The author gives a number of examples of misinformation on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. … The book is peppered with interesting tidbits that make it easy to read. … any reader, technical or nontechnical, will benefit from it.”(G. K. Gupta, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2013)
“For anyone who has used a Facebook account to log on to any site, this work serves as an information disclosure on what individuals actually share when they post and what they voluntarily release to anyone with an account. … Lee’s book highlights how the information that people share can be used to help or harm them; it also will educate readers about this new irrevocable paradigm or technology integration. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners; general readers.” (T. D. Richardson, Choice, Vol. 50 (9), May, 2013)
