Over the Influence is a book about what it means to live in the world social media has wrought--whether you're constantly connected or have deleted your accounts forever. Alaimo shows why you're likely to get fewer followers if you're a woman. She explains how fake news is crafted to prey on women's vulnerabilities. She reveals why so much of the content we find in our feeds is specifically designed to hold us back. And she explains how social media has made the offline world an uglier place for women. But we can change this. Alaimo offers up brilliant advice for how to get over the influence--how to handle our daughters' use of social media, use dating apps to find the partners we're looking for, use social networks to bolster our careers, and protect ourselves from sextortionists, catfishers, and trolls. She also explains what we need to demand from lawmakers and tech companies. Over the Influence calls on women to recognize and call out the subtle (and not-so-subtle) sexism and misogyny we find online, reject misinformation that is targeted to us because of our gender, and use our platforms to empower ourselves and other women." -- $c Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Social media $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Digital media $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Youth $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Social media $x Influence. 650 0 $a Social media and society. 650 0 $a Social media and teenagers. 650 0 $a Mental health. 650 0 $a Disinformation. 941 $a 3 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010203.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012837.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403010951.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=876D77DCF17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
