How often do you feel like deleting your social media accounts? Jaron Lanier, programmer, futurist and IT industry revolutionary, has 10 compelling reasons to be right. You think you are creating a unique digital image of yourself, fueling it with likes and social approval. In fact, you turn out to be an impersonal victim of soulless algorithms that take your data, feed you with fake news, deprive you of your free will and awaken aggression in you. Lanier has no accounts on any of the social networks. What will be best for you? Nobody knows. You decide.
“Every day a person leaves a digital footprint, the detail of which is not realized. However, this footprint is a source of enormous power and resources for large multinational companies. Based on the analysis of people's behavior in social networks, today it is possible to successfully predict demand, supply, and even election results. By urging the reader to delete their accounts, the author, in my opinion, does not solve the problem of privacy and regulation of digital identity management. But it is useful to read this book to the inexperienced with technical details.
