Review Quotes:
"Harris provides a timely inquiry into the role of content moderation in online platforms and the effects of different moderation policies on the ability of people using the platforms to understand the information they present and recognize misinformation . . . This book would be useful in a course on epistemology, communications, media theory, or the sociology of the internet. Summing Up: Recommended."
