Is Social Media A Double-Edged Sword?

Is Social Media A Double-Edged Sword?

Once upon a time, social media was just a place where you could share pictures and stories with your friends, but it's now grown to become much more than that. Sometimes it can feel like we're all being swept away in a tide of information, and we know we're not the only ones doomscrolling the night away. But despite all that, social media remains to be the place to find connection and purpose. So we ask our listeners whether social media has been a force of good or bad in their lives, and discuss the experiences that people have with it.
