This talk will explain how and why civility alone isn’t enough to fix what’s broken. It might even make the underlying problems worse. We need, instead, a more robust ethical framework, one that takes into account technological affordances, and the ways these affordances contribute to unethical behavior--even when someone has no idea that they are causing harm.

The 2016 Presidential election was influenced by social media and propaganda sites more than any in our nation’s history. Those influencers did not cease after the election was over. Instead, the flow of misinformation continues and their impact strengthens as the nation divides. As members of the next generation of Americans navigate the online space and form their political opinions based on what they find, it’s up to us to prepare them for what they’ll encounter. Armed with the tools to separate truth from the improbable, the next wave of voters can be successful in making rational decisions that will impact the future of our communities and country.
