"The compass's rocky evolution is charted with an enthusiast's passion…A fascinating adventure." —Bernadette Murphy, Los Angeles Times This is the rich history of the most important navigational device of all time, the magnetic compass, born of the need for a reliable means of negotiating treacherous sea routes around the globe. Compass chronicles the misadventures of those who attempted to perfect the instrument—so precious to sixteenth-century seamen that, by law, any man found tampering with one had his hand pinned to the mast with a dagger. Part history, part adventure, this book is a compelling tribute to human ingenuity—and the mysteries of the sea.

In the rapidly evolving digital age, the pursuit of truth has become a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. As misinformation and disinformation percolate through the vast networks of social media, the line between fact and fiction seems increasingly blurred. At the heart of this tumultuous landscape is a paradox: Social media platforms, designed to facilitate free expression and global connectivity, have become both the guardians of information and the gateways to a labyrinth of falsehoods. "Who Decides What's True?" is a deep dive into these complex, interconnected issues. In this book, Josh demystifies the nature of truth in the digital age, probes the anatomy of misinformation, and wrestles with the moral, ethical, and legal challenges of content moderation. Chapter by chapter, Josh unpacks the evolution of social media from mere communication tools to the de facto public squares of discourse. He delves into the reach and influence of these platforms, revealing the double-edged sword they wield in disseminating both knowledge and falsehoods. Through comprehensive analyses, he confronts the implications of misinformation, from political manipulation and election interference to public health crises and social unrest. At its core, the book grapples with a critical dilemma: How can freedom of speech be preserved on platforms inundated with harmful misinformation? This question forms the axis around which the exploration of content moderation revolves. Examining the role and responsibilities of social media platforms, the book sheds light on the operational and ethical challenges they face in the curation of content. It also scrutinizes the vital role of fact-checking organizations and the mechanisms for independent oversight of content decisions. The narrative then ventures into possible strategies for navigating this murky terrain. From fostering media literacy and critical thinking to implementing platform features and tools for combating misinformation, the book presents potential pathways towards a more truthful digital world. In its final sections, "Who Decides What's True?" takes a bold stride into the future, anticipating potential regulatory changes and their implications for social media. It dissects the intersecting concerns of data privacy and user rights, all while speculating about the impact of emerging technologies on the propagation of misinformation. Anchored in extensive research and informed analysis, this book is a necessary read for anyone looking to understand the complexities of truth, freedom of speech, and social media in today's interconnected world. It provides a blueprint for navigating the vast, often confusing terrain of digital discourse. It asks the tough questions, challenges assumptions, and invites its readers to participate in a crucial conversation about the role of truth in the age of social media. This book is more than just a critical exploration; it's a call to action for everyone who believes in the value of truth and the power of informed dialogue.
