Part II examines the legal and ethical implications of social media with chapters covering the legalities of social and digital media use, user policies, and image and brand management. Part III addresses the professional uses of social media within the disciplines of public relations, advertising, marketing, journalism, mass media, nonprofit work, and U.S. politics, as well as the role of social media in national and global movements. The second edition features new content on fake news, disinformation, conspiracy theories, bots and trolls, social media influencers, the growth of Instagram and TikTok, the Communications Decency Act, podcasts, and the confluence of social media and the 2020 United States presidential election.
