Abstract:

Since the advent of Web 2.0, the interaction of user-generated content
on participatory platforms has democratized content creation and
reshaped communication, identity, authority, and knowledge across
various fields, from health to politics, amid the post-truth
phenomena. This timely book provides essential insights into the
transformative effects of the evolving digital landscape. It gives a
comprehensive analysis of how areas such as health, politics, and
language ideology have been influenced by digital communication, and
explores how online spaces have amplified minority voices, promoting
inclusion and representation, while also addressing the backlash that
challenges human rights associated with Internet use and the free
exchange of information. The book also examines the intersection of
law and digital crime, revealing the legal challenges posed by the
online world. As our understanding of identity, knowledge, and
authority increasingly intersects with Generative AI, it also
discusses the impact of intelligent tools and the challenges they
present.
