TED Talk by Eli Pariser "What Obligation Do Social Media Platforms Have to the Greater Good?"

 

    So today I watched and listened to TED Talk and while watching and listening to it I thought about the question about social media platforms and its obligation to society. Social Media platforms should be held accountable for the information they put out there and what they are allowing others to put out there. A lot of the information being put out today is questionable, is it fake or not. There is also social media that leans more to the younger generation like Tik Tok that do challenges. There have been so many that have either lost their lives or hurt themselves from doing them thinking they are cool. There is also the sites that are used for bulling others and how many have been hurt from this or took their lives because of the bulling. It’s also has become a place for crimes to happen from scams and identity theft down to sex trafficking. They should have some kind of policing to help keeps these from happening or lessen the amount.
