Omschrijving

An eye-opening look at the invisible workers who protect us from seeing the worst of humanity on today’s commercial internet

“Sarah T Roberts’s vital new study demonstrates how online content moderation is a global industry that operates on the back of human exploitation” —John Naughton, The Guardian

“This book will define our thinking about the modern internet. Roberts has deftly dispelled the myth of freely flowing content in social media and brought critical attention to the work of digital laborers. Whatever you thought about how the internet works, prepare to rethink it all. A must read for anyone who uses and trusts the objectivity of the internet.”—Safiya Umoja Noble, author of Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism

“Sarah Roberts, one of the leading pioneers of scholarship in the digital age, opens a window onto the opaque world of content moderation. Behind the Screen is the definitive work on this key sector of the digital economy, its influence certain to shape policy and research in the years to come. Not only that – it’s a great read!”—David Kaye, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression

Behind the Screen is engaged social science at its best. Roberts has deeply researched the labor of content moderators. Her empathetic understanding of their place in the global digital labor market unlocks a compelling theoretical framework for the political economy of communication. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in how online discourse is limited, structured, and enabled.”—Frank Pasquale, author of The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information

“Sarah Roberts will take you on an eye opening journey into the hidden world of the largely unsung and unappreciated people whose hard psychological labor plays a huge role in shaping the global public sphere. Behind the Screen is essential reading for anybody seeking to understand the private governance of online speech.”—Rebecca MacKinnon, author of Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom

"The duty of a technology scholar is to demystify a system so that readers recognize the human hands and minds at work behind what otherwise seems the work of wizards. In stirring and clear prose, Sarah T. Roberts demystifies the labor and judgement that influence what we see on Facebook and other platforms — and how they can never achieve what the companies promise."—Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of Antisocial Media: How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy
