Current social platforms are built on a surveillance model, where our data is used to predict our behavior, show us ads, and train the algorithms to keep us perpetually on a platform. In the latest episode of EC’s Technically Optimistic, Raffi Krikorian talks to prominent critics of existing social media—and the people actively reimagining it, with truly private messaging, hyperlocal communities, and renewed sense of control over our own social data. Episode 2 of Technically Optimistic is out—listen now! https://lnkd.in/dschJrWs Guests include Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, whose 2021 leaks made national news and put the social media giant in the Congressional spotlight; scholar and internet activist Ethan Zuckerman; President of the Signal Foundation Meredith Whittaker; Flipboard co-founder Mike McCue, and Harvard Law professor Jonathan Zittrain.
