Using Social Media As A Tool To Unite

With Robin Banerjee, Alison Jane Martingano, Poppy Wood, Fentse Malatji, Patrick Riccards and Mayah Riaz

We hear a great deal about how divisive social media can be. And it’s true - algorithms are deliberately designed to make sure your feed is full of stuff you agree with. And the depersonalization that can come from communicating with someone from behind a computer screen means that people often behave far more aggressively online than they would in person. But social media is human-made. We’ve designed it to do this. What could social media be like if we used it more responsibly and designed it so that it promoted connection? And how do we make that a reality given the current design (not to mention ownership) of these platforms?
