I welcome feedback on a new report I wrote on “Mapping Solutions to Social Media Threats” based on a workshop where we brought 20 experts in democracy, human rights, and peacebuilding together for a weekend of brainstorming. Click here to read the full report on [Mapping Responses to Social Media Threats.](https://toda.org/assets/files/resources/policy-briefs/t-pb-38_lisa-schirch_mapping-responses-to-social-media-threats.pdf) And click here to see the [other policy briefs in our series, including "Peacebuilding Perspectives on Social Media’s Impact on Social and Political Goods.](https://toda.org/policy-briefs-and-resources/social-media-and-peacebuilding.html)" The report identifies social media threats on social cohesion, human rights, violence and democracy and then identifies creative options for addressing those threats through: - Building a better bridge between offline dialogue and online platforms. - Helping tech companies improve their platform design and moderation. - Supporting civic tech and peace tech options for addressing social media threats. - Mobilizing civil society to develop campaigns to address social media threats directly or through leveraging pressure on tech companies and governments. - Leveraging financial and legal pressure on tech companies. - Recognizing the education and research necessary to develop better long-term solutions.
