Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and ";benevolent dictators for life."; In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls ";implicit feudalism";: a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences of this arrangement matter far beyond online spaces themselves, as feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities' democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian tendencies among politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Using media archaeology, political theory, and participant observation, Schneider shows how the internet can learn from governance legacies of the past to become a more democratic medium, responsive and inventive unlike anything that has come before. 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aFeudalism$xPolitical aspects 606 $aInternet governance 606 $aOnline social networks$xPolitical aspects 606 $aSocial media and society 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Technology Studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aFeudalism$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aInternet governance. 615 0$aOnline social networks$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aSocial media and society. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Technology Studies. 676 $a384.3/34 700 $aSchneider$b Nathan$f1984-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01617593 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910842094503321 996 $aGovernable Spaces$94174568 997 $aUNINA
