Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. What if your social media feed is not simply showing you the world, but actively shaping how you see it?Every scroll, click, pause, search, and share becomes part of a powerful digital system designed to predict behavior, capture attention, and influence what people encounter next. Social media platforms are no longer optional communication tools. They have become essential infrastructures for identity, community, commerce, education, work, politics, and civic participation.Social Media Algorithms and the Platform Society is a practical and thought-provoking field guide to understanding the systems behind everyday digital life.Written for students, educators, professionals, researchers, and curious technology users, this book explains how social platforms operate, why algorithms prioritize certain content, how personal data becomes commercially valuable, and how platform design affects behavior, relationships, public debate, and access to opportunity.Through clear explanations, real-world cases, structured exercises, reflection prompts, platform audits, and independent practice activities, readers will learn how to examine digital platforms critically rather than simply accept what appears on their screens.Inside this book, you will explore: - How platform business models turn attention and behavioral data into revenue- Why recommendation algorithms amplify some content while making other voices less visible- How infinite scroll, autoplay, notifications, and personalization compete for your focus- What platforms collect, infer, and predict from your digital activity- How online identity is performed across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and other platforms- Why digital communities can create both meaningful belonging and powerful forms of exclusion- How misinformation, deepfakes, and AI-generated content reshape the information environment- How content moderation policies determine whose speech is protected, restricted, or removed- Why digital inequality involves more than internet access- How platforms influence civic participation, political communication, and public opinion- How AI and algorithmic management are changing education, employment, authorship, and human judgment- How to create a personal platform map, attention log, data-trail audit, source credibility tracker, and AI-use policyThis is not a book that simply tells readers to stop using social media. It offers something more useful: the analytical tools needed to participate in digital life with greater awareness, agency, and judgment.By the end of the book, readers will be prepared to complete a comprehensive platform field study using the frameworks of attention economics, datafication, algorithmic curation, digital identity, governance, inequality, labor, and civic life.Move beyond being a passive platform user.Learn to recognize the systems operating behind the screen, evaluate who benefits from them, identify who may be excluded, and make more deliberate decisions about how you engage with the digital world.
