Restoring the Internet is a denunciation of how tech giants hide their brutal commercial exploitation under the guise of free speech. Olivier Sylvan, a leading legal scholar and former adviser to the Federal Trade Commission, reveals the motivations behind social media design, explaining how it traps users in spirals of addiction, misinformation and harm, from TikTok's deadly challenges to over-reliance on intelligent chatbotsArtificial.
With clarity and urgency, Sylvan dismantles the libertarian myth that shaped the law of the internet, and calls for a new legal system that protects users at the expense of platforms. Restoring the Internet is a powerful and original addition to the most compelling political debate of our time: what it takes to restore the digital public space.
