Is social media changing who we are? We assume social media is only
a tool for our modern day communications and interactions, but is
it quietly changing our identities and how we see the world and one
another? Our current debate about the human behaviors behind social
media misses the important effects these social networking
technologies are having on our sense of shared morality and
rationality. There has been much concern about the loss of privacy
and anonymity in the Information Age, but little attention has been
paid to the consequences and effects of social media and the
behavior they engender on the Internet. In order to understand how
social media influences our morality, Lisa S. Nelson suggests a new
methodological approach to social media and its effect on society.
Instead of beginning with the assumption that we control our use of
social media, this book considers how the phenomenological effects
of social media influences our actions, decisions, and, ultimately,
who we are and who we become. This important study will inform a
new direction in policy and legal regulation for these increasingly
important technologies.
