Censorship from Plato to Social Media. The Complexity of Social Media’s Content Regulation and Moderation Practices [Author: Gergely Gosztonyi (Publisher: Springer Cham 2023)]

Summary/Abstract: This section does not require an abstract.If the question were raised, how many hours we spend on social media every day, either consuming or producing content, we would probably be surprised, even though we hardly ever leave the door without our smartphones. Yet we are blind to the effects we face and the manipulated reality influenced by the economic interests of the market players and the political games that go hand in hand. In his book Censorship from Plato to Social Media, Gergely Gosztonyi points out precisely this phenomenon. Still, rather than just focusing on what is happening in the present, he takes us back to the time of ancient Greece, showing that if we look closely, there is nothing new under the sun.
