The web we weave : why we must reclaim the Internet from moguls, misanthropes, and moral panic
2024
Overview
\"Today, the internet stands accused of dividing us, spying on us, addicting us, making us stupid, and depressing our children. In response, panicked media figures and politicians are calling for new layers of regulation and control that could spell the end of the web before we are finished building it. In this book, expert Jeff Jarvis pleads for a saner conversation about the internet. Reflecting on the web's past, present, and future, Jarvis shows that most of the problems the media lays at the internet's door are the result of our own failings. The internet did not make us hate; we brought our bias, bigotry, and prejudice to it. That's why proposed legislation to strictly regulate the web will fail to limit hate speech and misinformation, serving instead to curtail the freedom of speech the internet affords to all. Rather than despairing at Big Tech's inability to squelch bad behavior, we should turn our attention and resources to fostering constructive community, conversation, and creativity online. The Web We Weave offers an antidote to today's pessimism about the internet and outlines a bold vision for how we might build an even stronger web\"-- Provided by publisher.
