Social Media

How can I participate online without giving away my judgment or attention?

Social media connects personal expression with systems that select and distribute content. We can ask what we choose to share, how we check claims and how our words affect others. Platforms and influential accounts carry responsibilities proportionate to their reach and control. Individuals can set limits on attention without carrying sole responsibility for the design of the environment.

A question to sit with (optional): Why am I sharing this, what have I checked, and whose interests does the interaction serve?
