Democracy Hacked

Prepare-se para um novo tipo de democracia. Governos autoritários, elites e hackers estão usar o mundo digital para influenciar o sistema democrático e as eleições. Essa influência leva a mudanças sem precedentes na opinião pública. Num espaço de poucos anos ficámos submersos numa guerra de informação permanente. Facebook, Google e Twitter são hoje os palcos da nossa política. Um mundo onde empresas contratadas para consultoria política conseguem gerar resultados inesperados como o Brexit na Inglaterra, Donald Trump nos EUA, Macron em França, ou o Movimento Cinco Estrelas em Itália. Um mundo de vigilância em tempo real, onde mudar de rede social terá mais impacto do que mudar de governo. E onde a liberdade e a privacidade de cada um são vistas como incompatíveis com a transparência. As nossas leis não preveem o que está a acontecer e os poderes políticos não o percebem. Moore explica e sublinha o que precisamos de fazer para salvar a democracia. Este é um livro sobre tomar medidas, para evitar fake news, manipulações, mercenários digitais, hackers. É sobre a verdade de Silicon Valley e Donald Trump, mas também… sobre todos nós.

Democracia Manipulada

Thomas Colley

From the United States to China and from Brazil to India, an authoritarian approach to news is spreading across the world. Increasingly, the media is no longer a check on power or a source of objective information but a means by which governments and leaders can propagate their versions of reality, however biased or false. Martin Moore and Thomas Colley show how states are battling to control and shape the news in order to entrench their power, evade scrutiny, and ensure that their political narratives are accepted. Combining in-depth analyses of seven countries with a compelling range of stories and characters from around the world, they demonstrate the unprecedented scale and scope of governments’ efforts to take control of the media. Dictating Reality details how Xi’s China, Putin’s Russia, Modi’s India, AMLO’s Mexico, Bolsonaro’s Brazil, and Orban’s Hungary have all sought, in their different ways, to exploit news to manufacture alternative realities—and how their methods have taken hold in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other democracies. Combining keen analysis of contemporary world events with years of original research, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how authoritarian leaders use the media, why more and more people are living in different realities, and the ways democracy is under threat.

Tru64 UNIX System Administrator's Guide

Dealing with system problems—from user login failures to server crashes--is a critical part of a system administrator's job. A down system can cost a business thousands of dollars per minute. But there is little or no information available on how to troubleshoot and correct system problems; in most cases, these skills are learned in an ad-hoc manner, usually in the pressure-cooker environment of a crisis. This is the first book to address this lack of information. The authors (both experienced Tru64 UNIX support engineer for Compaq) systematically present the techniques and tools needed to find and fix system problems. The first part of the book presents the general principles and techniques needed in system troubleshooting. These principles and techniques are useful not only for UNIX system administrators, but for anyone who needs to find and fix system problems. After this foundation, the authors describe troubleshooting tools used in the UNIX environment. The remainder of the book covers specific areas of the Tru64 UNIX operating system in detail: listing common problems, their causes, how to detect them, and how to correct them. Each chapter includes a "Before You Call Support" section that details the most important things to check and correct before it's necessary to call Compaq technical support. The authors also include decision trees to help the reader systematically isolate particular problem types. · "Before You Call Tech Support" sections · Tables and diagrams for quick access to precise data · Decision trees to help choose the best way to troubleshoot a particular problem

Internet har alltmer blivit en plats för trollfabriker, valfusk och företag som säljer vår personliga information till högstbjudande. Kina använder Facebooks och Googles algoritmer för att förtrycka muslimer i Xinjiang. Putins Ryssland har lyckats med det Sovjet bara drömde om: att undergräva de liberala staternas politik och dess invånares förtroende för sina länder och varandra. Hackad demokrati är en spännande och kunskapstät skildring av den digitala erans nya värld, och räknas redan som ett referensverk på området. Martin Moore är medieforskare och har grundat The Media Standards Trust, varit med och organiserat Orwellpriset och startat journalisted.com.

Regulating Big Tech explores cutting-edge policy innovations that tackle the dominance of Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft and the interlocking challenges of contemporary tech regulation.

Policy Responses to Digital Dominance

Regulating Big Tech

Damian Tambini

Across the globe, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft have accumulated power in ways that existing regulatory and intellectual frameworks struggle to comprehend. A consensus is emerging that the power of these new digital monopolies is unprecedented, and that it has important implications for journalism, politics, and society. It is increasingly clear that democratic societies require new legal and conceptual tools if they are to adequately understand, and if necessary check the economic might of these companies. Equally, that we need to better comprehend the ability of such firms to control personal data and to shape the flow of news, information, and public opinion. In this volume, Martin Moore and Damian Tambini draw together the world's leading researchers to examine the digital dominance of technologies platforms and look at the evidence behind the rising tide of criticism of the tech giants. In fifteen chapters, the authors examine the economic, political, and social impacts of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, in order to understand the different facets of their power and how it is manifested. Digital Dominance is the first interdisciplinary volume on this topic, contributing to a conversation which is critical to maintaining the health of democracies across the world.

The Power of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple

Digital Dominance

Since Digital Dominance was published in 2018, a global consensus has emerged that technology platforms should be regulated. Governments from the United States to Australia have sought to reduce the power of these platforms and curtail the dominance of a few, yet regulatory responses remain fragmented, with some focused solely on competition while others seek to address issues around harm, privacy, and freedom of expression. Regulating Big Tech condenses the vibrant tech policy debate into a toolkit for the policy maker, legal expert, and academic seeking to address one of the key issues facing democracies today: platform dominance and its impact on society. Contributors explore elements of the toolkit through comprehensive coverage of existing and future policy on data, antitrust, competition, freedom of expression, jurisdiction, fake news, elections, liability, and accountability, while also identifying potential policy impacts on global communication, user rights, public welfare, and economic activity. With original chapters from leading academics and policy experts, Regulating Big Tech sets out a policy framework that can address interlocking challenges of contemporary tech regulation and offer actionable solutions for our technological future.
