10 Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now

Book • 2018
In this book, Jaron Lanier presents ten compelling arguments for why individuals should consider deleting their social media accounts.

He discusses how social media can undermine truth, destroy empathy, make users unhappy, and disrupt economic dignity and political discourse.

Lanier also introduces the concept of the 'BUMMER' machine, which describes how social media services modify user behavior for profit.

The book encourages readers to be more mindful of their social media use and its broader societal implications.
