Healthy Users: The Governance of Well-being on Social Media

Join us for a discussion with Dr. Niall Docherty on the governance of well-being on social media. The psychological and well-being risks of social media are commonly known and well understood. So far, however, no meaningful political regulation or change in platform business models have dealt with the problem head on. Up against the stated issues of platforms, individual users are instead encouraged to adopt healthy scrolling habits and practices of conscious use – by platforms and governments alike. It seems digital self-discipline is the tonic for platform toxicities today.
