Learn to browse, consume, and share information critically and conscientiously
Have you ever read an online article and wondered, “Who the f wrote this shit?” I feel this everyday.
This project started off after a critical mass of garbage information started being thrown around during COVID-19. Despite the tons of fact checkers and great information out there, it wasn’t reaching my own personal networks. I teamed up with a friend and started re-sharing the best resources we came across and taking down terrible headlines.
We also explore technology and make prototypes to suggest improvements so that information browsing, consumption, and sharing can happen more critically and conscientiously directly from within the tools we use. Our first is the Facebook Thoughtful Sharing prototype.
Our hope with all of this is to inspire people read the world around them more critically and behave more responsibly when sharing information with others.
