Co może wyguglować zatroskany rodzic? Notatki o cyberpanice moralnej

Abstract

Parents googling for information about what their children do in the digital network find a number of alarming reports. First of all, they relate to the harmfulness of technology addiction. Why? Is the google search algorithm an amplifier of the moral panic related to online practices of teenagers? This paper attempts to analyse internet discourse including the role played by technology. To describe the phenomena I discuss, I propose the term cyber panic.
