Are Social Networking Sites Harmful?

How do we navigate a world in which social media data collection often seems to violate privacy? To what degree does social media encourage political reform and to what degree can it be used by authoritarian governments to suppress dissent? Social media complicates our social, cultural, and political lives in vast and often difficult-to-understand ways. Supporting critical thinking skills and text analysis, this informative anthology tackles issues related to social media. Readers are presented with a diverse spectrum of essays on social networking site issues such as privacy, addiction, personality disorders, and education.
