Watch here.

  In the most divisive election in recent memory—a memory that is getting shorter, perhaps—Facebook split into red and blue islands, tweets became news events in themselves, and we spent no end of time discussing the proprieties of emails. In this setting, we will discuss how social media is shaping the way we talk to each other—shaping our deliberative democracy. We will touch on questions like: How do filters and bubbles change the idea of "the public"? What kinds of discussion do ads-based platforms favor?

How could we design platforms that would strengthen, rather than sap, civic life?
