Social media are an integral part of contemporary society; having changed the way we communicate, use information and understand the world, we should now ask critical questions about social media and dig deeper into issues of ownership, power, class and (in)justice. This book equips readers with a critical understanding of the complexities and contradictions at the heart of social media's relationship with society.
