LOSING OUR AGENCY ON SOCIAL MEDIA
This from River Selby:
Whenever we log on to a social media platform, we risk our autonomy, our agency as human beings. Everyone, myself included, wants to think that they are resistant to the negative aspects of social media: advertising, algorithmic persuasion, etc. But we aren’t. The more time we spend on these platforms, the more vulnerable we are to persuasion.
The goal of every platform is to keep you on the platform, nothing else. The time you spend on their site or app, it builds value for their shareholders, and you hand over data by the truckload with every click, swipe, and like.
