What is The People's Platform : Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age about?

The People's Platform argues that for all our **'sharing**', '**up-voting**', and '**liking**', the **Internet reflects real-world inequalities** as much as it reduces them. Attention and influence accrue to those who already have plenty of both. Cultural products are primarily valued as opportunities for data collection, while creators receive little or no compensation for their efforts. And **we pay for our 'free' access to content and services with our privacy**, offering up our personal information to advertisers. *We can do better.* Employing a mixture of reportage, research and her own experiences working in a creative field, Astra Taylor not only offers an audacious rebuttal to the current Internet orthodoxy, she also presents viable solutions to our predicament. If we want the Internet to be a people's platfrom, we will have to make so.
