Recenzii
In The Crowdsourced Panopticon: Conformity and Control on Social Media, philosopher Jeremy Weissman explores social media's potential to endow ordinary people with the power to track, survey, and censor others across the globe. This monograph serves as an excellent resource for professors and teachers looking to connect historical philosophical debates to contemporary debates.
In The Crowdsourced Panopticon, philosopher Jeremy Weissman has taken on one of the most pressing issues affecting contemporary societies: the role of surveillance on social media. As our world becomes increasingly digitised, and more and more of our interactions are mediated through the internet, social media has become an inescapable part of life for billions of people. These technologies exhibit a kind of social power that has never been seen before in history, and Weissman claims that this power has ever growing influence over our behaviour.... The Crowdsourced Panopticon is a welcome addition to the scholarly work on surveillance and privacy, but the clear, approachable writing style and wealth of empirical examples make it just as accessible to non-experts. Weissman has certainly done his part to increase awareness of how social media affects our behaviour, and has laid the foundations for how we might behave in the future.
The Crowdsourced Panopticon offers a powerful indictment of our culture's toxic exposure.... Weissman's analysis of what he calls the "net of normalization" is rich, helping to show the immense social pressure to conform.
Jeremy Weissman's chilling account of a future in which digital technology is fully enmeshed in the fabric of society and our human selves is no science fantasy. It is lucidly argued with enormous clarity and imagination. Warnings of this gripping book are informed by classical parables and centuries of philosophical thinking about human aspirations and ethical values combined with a unique grasp of on-the-ground realities of digital life.
To avoid dystopias you need to know what it takes to create them-how to engineer people to conform to harmful norms and participate in practices that erode freedom and perpetuate injustice. The Crowdsourced Panopticon presents a powerful philosophical warning for resisting the detrimental programmed behavior encouraged on social media and afforded by so-called smart devices.
Social media and smart technologies are radically changing the ways humans envision themselves as individuals and in communities. Jeremy Weissman is one of the few who discerns both the exciting possibilities they offer while also recognizing where they may diminish rather than enhance what makes us fully human. This work exemplifies the best kind of ethical and policy analysis of emerging technologies.
This was an informative read all in all. It relied on a mixture of academic sources, philosophers, and modern scholars intermingled with sober perspectives recorded in popular media. The book contained illustrative examples and cases to make it relevant to the reader and accessible, in today's context, and always with a twist. This is indeed Weissman's craft-to connect the ancient with the modern, and to convey to us, "we've somehow been here before." We can use these ancient stories to inform our modern-day narrative and to use the learnings from today to ensure we create a better future and not fall into the traps that had been foreseen. Readers are truly spoiled at every turn because this book is an original contribution in the way it weaves and inter weaves the fundamental storyline: our technologies have social implications-do we see what they are doing to us, our community, and society at large [26],[27]?
