Q&A Season 13 Social Disconnect 2020
Tech designers have control over how billions of us think and act, and some of them have started sounding the alarm on their own creations. Reports show higher social media use is now linked to a decline in mental health. Political disinformation campaigns on social platforms are on the rise, undermining democracy in some countries. So how do we stop social media from reprogramming our lives and take back control? Is government regulation the way to go? Joining Hamish Macdonald to discuss these questions are: Tristan Harris, Former Google Design Ethicist and star of “The Social Dilemma”; Marc Fennell, tech reporter and author; Julie Inman Grant, eSafety Commissioner; Matt Ford and Jack Steele, The Inspired Unemployed; Sally Rugg, Executive Director at change.org; and Jocelyn Brewer, Cyberpsychologist.
