Are Facebook and TikTok Evil? with Dr. Chad Ragsdale

Social Media. Everyone has it. In fact, most of us have multiple accounts on different platforms, and it seems a new one pops up every couple of years. Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram... We all use it and enjoy it. But, until recently, very few stopped and wondered if these media titans were good for society. Many are already familiar with the controversies around fake news, selling personal data, and election tampering, but these might be just the tip of the iceberg. New data shows that social media consumption might have harmful effects on many groups of people. Are you part of that group? How ought the church respond? How ought you respond? Should Christian boycott these platforms altogether, or is there a healthy way to consume social media? To answer these questions and many more, we have Dr. Chad Ragsdale, an expert on the rise of social media and its relationship to the church.
