{"product_id":"the-peoples-platform","title":"The Peoples Platform","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom a cutting-edge cultural commentator, a bold and brilliant challenge to cherished notions of the internet as the great leveler of our age.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe internet has been hailed as an unprecedented democratising force, a place where everyone can participate.\u003cbr\u003e\nSo why are minorities and marginalized groups under-represented on user-generated websites, with less than 15% of Wikipedia written by women?\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy does keyword-jammed and star-studded churnalism proliferate, at the expense of in-depth, investigative journalism?\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd how have a handful of giant corporations like Facebook, Google and Apple seized control of our creativity, galvanizing individuals to produce content for free?\u003cbr\u003e\nThe People's Platform' argues that for all our sharing', the internet reflects real-world inequalities as much as it reduces them, as attention and income frequently accrue to those who already have plenty of both.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe online world does offer a unique opportunity for greater freedom, but a community that supports the diverse and lasting will not spring up from technology alone. If we want the internet to be a people's platform, we will have to make it so.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astra Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44235667079228,"sku":"9780007525591","price":1100.75,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-peoples-platform-9780007525591.jpg?v=1776786962","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-peoples-platform","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
