Don't be evil : how big tech betrayed its founding principles- and all of us / Rana Foroohar
Publication details: New York : Currency , 2019 Description: 337 p. ; 23 cmSubject(s): Tecnología de la información | Tratamiento de datos | Datos personales | Protección de datos | InternetAbstract: “Don’t be evil” was enshrined as Google’s original corporate mantra back in its early days, when the company’s cheerful logo still conveyed the utopian vision for a future in which technology would inevitably make the world better, safer, and more prosperous. Unfortunately, it’s been quite a while since Google, or the majority of the Big Tech companies, lived up to this founding philosophy. Today, the utopia they sought to create is looking more dystopian than ever: from digital surveillance and the loss of privacy to the spreading of misinformation and hate speech to predatory algorithms targeting the weak and vulnerable to products that have been engineered to manipulate our desires. A penetrating indictment of how today’s largest tech companies are hijacking our data, our livelihoods, our social fabric, and our minds.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
