[SOLO] Should Nonprofits Leave Facebook?
What a week to be working in social media.
If you manage social media channels for your nonprofit, if you are on them in your personal life, or even if you just pay attention to the news, then you have undoubtedly heard about Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower.
The claim is that, as Haugen says, Facebook’s products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy. However, I don't think quitting full stop is an option for many nonprofits, and for many marginalized communities who rely on the platform to communicate and organize.
So where do we go from here?
I recorded this special episode today to answer these questions:
- What to do next with all of these revelations?
- Should we all up and quit Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp?
- What are the solutions if we can't quit?
You’ve heard what I have to say. Now I want to hear from you. Tag me on Twitter @JuliaCSocial and let me know what you think the future holds for Facebook.
