      The first painful truth is that the social-media business is built around personal-data surveillance, with products ultimately designed to spy on us in order to push advertising in our direction....

      The second painful truth is that we have consented to this, but not entirely wittingly: Social media are designed as addiction machines, expressly programmed to draw upon our emotions....

      And, the third painful truth is that the attention-grabbing algorithms underlying social media also propel authoritarian practices that aim to sow confusion, ignorance, prejudice, and chaos, thereby facilitating manipulation and undermining accountability.

      Siva, not only do a cite a review of your most recent book -- I cite two separate publications of yours (favourably) on two separate occasions!

      As I'm sure you are aware, space is an issue in essays like these, and editors trimmed 2000 words and lots of citations from my first draft. They requested minimal citations, and so lots of others I would have liked to have cited, I could not because of space (e.g, @zeynep)

      Moreover, as I write explicitly in the essay, these are all points that are now becoming conventional wisdom -- 'painful truths' -- around which there is a growing consensus thanks, in part, to you work, but lots of others too.

      In any event, I think your latest book is fantastic and everyone should read it.

      Hi Ron. Now that I've beed tagged among the uncited! It's true that your article reiterates the "painful truths" around which there's a growing consensus but it would serve readers better to cite people who've helped create that consensus. Definitely cite Siva in the web version!
