loppear reviewed How to Stand up to a Dictator by Maria Ressa
social media's role in enabling authoritarianism, from a lovely human
4 stars
Journalist memoir, revealing and honest and Phillipines-focused to frame global problems. The middle section is the strongest, in angrily recounting how Facebook actively sided with power rather than pro-social possibilities in 2011-2018. Hope for reclaiming shared bottom-up truth over loud loyalty of media to power is always ... possible.
