Researchers and the public have the right to know how social media platforms are accessing and using consumer data. But there’s also a need to protect user privacy and security.

Algorithms contribute to bias

Social media and search engines have become the main way people organize and access information, but companies that run them are guided by profit, not things like democracy or human rights. Sometimes, the most popular, profitable speech promotes racism, misinformation, and polarization.

Solution: Introducing friction by slowing online interactions and giving users the chance to think before sharing information is one solution

Business Models don't always serve users

Social media business models are built on the attention economy, in which platforms sell users’ attention for advertising. But what gets attention isn’t always good for users or society.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
