My Social Media Platform
Propose a new social media platform or application for the
future. The platform or application will address one of the issues covered in the course
thus far. You will also author your own code of ethics to be applied to the new platform
or application.
Instructions:
Choose one of the issues related to social media discussed in the course
(privacy, identity, news & information, activism, or ethics) and create a new social
media platform or application which addresses a solution to the issue.
For example, the “Sit with Me” app created by a 16 year-old to find
buddies to sit with at lunch in school. This app would specifically address
the issue of identity and interpersonal relationships.
Describe how the platform or application would work and explain its intended
purpose.
Clearly identify how the platform or application would address the issue you
selected. How does the platform or application provide a solution to some of the
problems associated with the issue?
Create a code of ethics to be used with the platform or application. Write a
minimum of 5 principles and explain how each one would apply to the use of the
platform or application.
