RE: The Effects of Social Media On Our Mental Health... Chapter #1

in #health6 years ago

There needs to be more transparency when it comes to the social media space and what technology is being used behind the scenes. If I were to make a new soda and add drugs to it that make you addicted to it, then everyone would get very upset. There would be people posting and streaming about the unethical practice. It is funny, when most other companies like Facebook implement changes to build a mental addiction of its users to capture as much data as possible there is not nearly as much awareness. We need to rethink the ways that things are built and have ethical input at the planning stages. Mobile games are another example of what I feel are unethical means of building an addiction. Nice post @chbartist
