商品簡介
Leistert (researcher, government studies, media theory, surveillance, social media) examines how social media contrasts with the western idea of individuality. He uses two ways of dealing with social media: surveillance and protest, starting with the play of freedom (governmentality, resisting the government and the government resisting the individuals). He then goes on to discuss the lawyers in Pakistan as a case study, distributed action and centralized surveillance, the liberal paradox (surveillance, re-entry of mobile media, section 129 of the German Criminal code), and bottom-up strategies (the necessity for trusted telecommunication). He then brings in interviews from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea, Spain, the UK, and the US to bring home the power of social media.
