Description
Digital communication has become increasingly complex, with digital technologies supporting communication with vast numbers of recipients and amplifying or suppressing content to target specific audiences. This complexity raises significant ethical challenges, as it can be difficult to assess the reliability and truthfulness of claims made in digital communication. Onora O'Neill explores these challenges in her book, examining how digital technologies have made communication more demanding. She argues that empowering users to evaluate digital communication is essential, enabling them to identify which standards are met and which flouted. This book provides a thoughtful analysis of the ethics of digital communication, highlighting the need for critical evaluation and assessment of online interactions.
