Summary:  "The battle for our digital rights and the future of democracy. Who decides what is permissible on the Internet? Who determines where political debate becomes hate speech? How does this impact our identity, our abiltity to create communities and to protest? Who regulates the censors? The Internet once promised to be a place of extraordinary freedom, unfettered by profit motives, or politics. But today corporate platforms control access to information to a greater extent that does any nation state. Considering a range of online controversies -- from presidential tweets, the suppression of activists, to the prudish censorship of images -- 'Silicon values' reports on the war for our digital rights. At the heart of this is the devastating impact of a system that has evolved to make corporations unaccountable censors. Leading campaigner Jillian C. York looks at how major corporations' desire to harvest our personal data for profit threatens democracy. She urgently proposes a user-powered movement against the platforms to recover ownership of the information describing our existence." --Jacket.
