About this listen
Nobody meant for this to happen.
Facebook didn't mean to facilitate a genocide.
Twitter didn't want to be used to harass women.
YouTube never planned to radicalise young men.
But with billions of users, these platforms need only tweak their algorithms to generate more 'engagement'. In so doing, they bring unrest to previously settled communities and erode our relationships.
Social warming has happened gradually - as a by-product of our preposterously convenient digital existence. But the gradual deterioration of our attitudes and behaviour on- and offline - this vicious cycle of anger and outrage - is real. And it can be corrected. Here's how.
©2021 Charles Arthur (P)2021 Audible, LtdAs someone one who first signed up to social media in 2008 and subsequently gave it up in 2020 the book details many of the concerns I had.
I think people underestimate the negatives consequences associated with social media.
Only time will tell whether we were naive or not.
