COVID-19 led to a surge in social media use and a lot of misinformation.

Starting my final project on the ethical dimensions of social media during COVID-19. I'll look at how misinformation spread and its impact. #Ethics #COVID19 #Misinformation -- here are some questions that I'll consider:

1. How did COVID-19 change social media use and trust?
2. What roles did healthcare and social media play in sharing information?
3. Should social media algorithms censor misinformation?

Some key questions:

How did COVID-19 impact your social media usage?
Should healthcare institutions collaborate more with platforms for accurate information dissemination?
Is transparency about feed algorithms crucial for addressing misinformation?
