I’m working on a film writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
1. According to Gillespie, what are some of the reasons an online company would call itself a “platform”? What connotations does it have? Are there problems with the term?
2. After watching The Social Dilemma, do you think that it accurately represents the experiences of young people today (such as yourself)? Is there anything you’d question or challenge?
3. Given what you saw in The Social Dilemma, what do you think the ethical responsibilities of social media platforms are? Are tech companies responsible for the wellbeing of their users?
