Journalist Allum Bokhari has spent four years investigating the tech giants that dominate the Internet: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. He has discovered a dark plot to seize control of the flow of information, and utilize that power to its full extent--to censor, manipulate, and ultimately sway the outcome of democratic elections. His network of whistleblowers inside Google, Facebook and other companies explain how the tech giants now see themselves as "good censors," benevolent commissars controlling the information we receive to "protect" us from "dangerous" speech. They reveal secret methods to covertly manipulate online information without us ever being aware of it, explaining how tech companies can use big data to target undecided voters. They lift the lid on a plot four years in the making--a plot to use the power of technology to stop Donald Trump's re-election-- </abstract> <tableOfContents>Prologue: The typewriter that talked back -- A very offensive election -- How the web was lost -- The panic -- Plausible deniability -- Deleted -- Robot censors -- Human censors -- The world's most dangerous company -- Censorship kills the YouTube star -- The defamation engine -- The world wide honeypot -- The "free speech wing of the free speech party" -- When Facebook kills your business -- When Silicon Valley met Washington -- "Just build your own" -- Epilogue: The typewriter that did as it was told.</tableOfContents> <note type="statement of responsibility">Allum Bokhari.</note> <note>Includes bibliographical references and index.</note> <subject> <geographicCode authority="marcgac">n-us---</geographicCode> </subject> <subject> <name type="personal"> <namePart>Trump, Donald</namePart> <namePart type="date">1946-</namePart> </name> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Social media</topic> <topic>Political aspects</topic> <geographic>United States</geographic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Redes sociales</topic> <topic>Aspectos políticos</topic> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Internet industry</topic> <topic>Political aspects</topic> <geographic>United States</geographic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Industria de internet</topic> <topic>Aspectos políticos</topic> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Corporate power</topic> <geographic>United States</geographic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Corporaciones</topic> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Right and left (Political science)</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Derecha e izquierda (Ciencias políticas)</topic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Polarization (Social sciences)</topic> <geographic>United States</geographic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Polarización (Ciencias sociales)</topic> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <topic>Political culture</topic> <geographic>United States</geographic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Cultura política</topic> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <geographic>United States</geographic> <topic>Politics and government</topic> <temporal>2009-2017</temporal> </subject> <subject> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> <topic>Política y gobierno</topic> <temporal>2009-2017</temporal> </subject> <subject authority="lcsh"> <geographic>United States</geographic> <topic>Politics and government</topic> <temporal>2017-2021</temporal> </subject> <subject> <geographic>Estados Unidos</geographic> <topic>Política y gobierno</topic> <temporal>2017-2021</temporal> </subject> <classification authority="lcc">HM 742 B686d 2020</classification> <classification authority="ddc">306.20973</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781546059318 (paperback)</identifier> <identifier type="isbn">1546059318 (paperback)</identifier> <identifier type="isbn" invalid="yes"/> <identifier type="lccn">2020014851</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">LBSOR/DLC</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">200511</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20250603155739.0</recordChangeDate> <recordIdentifier source="BJBSDDR">21539317</recordIdentifier> <languageOfCataloging> <languageTerm authority="iso639-2b" type="code">eng</languageTerm> </languageOfCataloging> </recordInfo> </mods>
