2.15: Discussion Prompts
Opening the book…
· Should Facebook be treated as a media company, a public utility, or something else—and what are the implications of each classification?
· How do emotional triggers and engagement-driven algorithms shape—and potentially distort—users’ perceptions of truth on social media?
· What ethical and legal responsibilities do platforms like Facebook have globally, particularly in regions with weaker regulatory frameworks or where online content contributes to offline harm?
· How does Facebook’s global reach transform misinformation from a local issue into an international crisis?
· What would a “healthier” social media platform look like in practice, and can such a model be economically and politically sustainable under current systems?
