What does a more ethical social media future look like? The Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol brought into focus the consequences of a polluted information ecosystem and its ability to spread misinformation and extremism. As we saw in the popular Nexflix docu-drama The Social Dilemma, there is a problem with social media and how it impacts us on an individual and societal level. Now comes the hard part -- fixing the problems and creating a more ethical social media future.

Join us for a timely discussion with three leading experts that are focused on improving the current state of social media and ensuring that it is aligned with the public interest. Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble is an Associate Professor at UCLA, author of the best-selling book Algorithms of Oppression, and is the Co-Director of the UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry. Dr. Dipayan Ghosh is the co-director of the Digital Platforms & Democracy Project at the Harvard Kennedy School, author of Terms of Disservice, and previously served as privacy and public policy advisor at Facebook. And David Ryan Polgar, who is serving as moderator, is a pioneering tech ethicist, founder of All Tech Is Human, and member of TikTok’s Content Advisory Council.
