“Moral Panic” Over Social Media Just Became Moral Accountability
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent verdict in a social media addiction trial and its implications for moral accountability regarding children's safety online.
The verdict of the landmark social media addiction/harms trial came back GUILTY. For more than a decade, those who spoke out against social media and its harm to children were accused of “moral panic.” While there was always an urgency to warn others, it was never fear or panic. But the persuasive and personalized design features embedded in social media platforms remain a moral problem in our society. Now, finally, we are starting to see some moral accountability.
