At the core of \u003cem\u003eSocial Media Freaks\u003c\/em\u003e is the question: Does social media reproduce inequalities or is it a tool for subverting them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSocial Media Freaks\u003c\/em\u003e presents a virtual ethnography of social media, focusing on issues of identity and inequality along five dimensions-race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability.
