A pair of researchers from Cornell Tech, writing last week on Technology Review, argues that social media is “polluting society,” beyond simply the kinds of issues typically dealt with by content moderation.
Associated PressI use all the major services, and for the most part, they serve me well and I enjoy them. But there are times when they annoy, upset and even anger me, and I want to walk away from them.For most of that month, I stopped using the Big Three: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. It wasn’t easy. I’ve been involved with social media since 2007, shortly after Twitter burst on the scene, and I was the Chronicle’s first social media manager.
A pair of researchers from Cornell Tech, writing last week on the Technology Review website, argues thatbeyond simply the kinds of issues typically dealt with by content moderation. Nathaniel Lubin and Thomas Krendl Gilbert propose “a policy framework — perhaps through something akin to an Environmental Protection Agency or Food and Drug Administration for social media … to identify and evaluate the societal harms generated by these platforms.
On Twitter, I felt as though too many of my replies to posts with which I didn’t agree were snarky and unnecessarily barbed. I also found myself replying before going back and looking at previous posts in a thread, or before reading a linked story, and wound up deleting too many tweets that seemed foolish.
But Facebook is also where I most felt my behavior was increasingly less than kind. I found myself too often correcting friends when they misspoke, particularly when they posted incorrectly attributed quotes on images. My lovely wife says I sometimes act like a member of the “Safety Patrol,” and she is not wrong.
