In just a few decades, it has transformed the world, making almost limitless quantities of information instantly available to billions of people and reshaping businesses, institutions, and even entire economies. But it also has come to rule our lives, addicting many of us to the march of megapixels across electronic screens both large and small. Despite its undeniable value, technology is exacerbating deep social and political divisions in many societies. Elections influenced by fake news and unscrupulous hidden actors, the cyber-hacking of trusted national institutions, the vacuuming of private information by Silicon Valley behemoths, ongoing threats to vital infrastructure from terrorist groups and even foreign governments-all of these concerns are now part of the daily news cycle and are certain to become increasingly serious into the future. In this new world of endless technology, how can individuals, institutions, and governments harness its positive contributions while protecting each of us, no matter who or where we are? In this book, a former Facebook public policy adviser who went on to assist President Obama in the White House offers practical ideas for using technology to create an open and accessible world that protects all consumers and civilians. As a computer scientist turned policymaker, Ghosh answers the biggest questions about technology facing the world today and guides industry leaders, policymakers, and the general public in thinking about how we can ensure that the internet works for everyone, not just Silicon Valley"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Internet industry $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business. 650 0 $a Information society. 650 7 $a Information society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972767 650 7 $a Information technology $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973116 650 7 $a Information technology $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973119 650 7 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973131 650 7 $a Social responsibility of business. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122851 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ghosh, Dipayan. $t Terms of disservice. $d Washington, D.C. : Brookings Institution Press, [2020] $z 9780815737667 $w (DLC) 2019048653 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030228.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210203010716.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021206.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2F57B96D7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
