In “The I in Internet,” Jia Tolentino argues that there are five interlocking problems of Web 2.0 (social media era).
Web 2.0:
Is built to distend our sense of identity
Encourages us to overvalue our opinions
Maximizes our sense of opposition against an often-imagined enemy
Cheapens our understanding of solidarity with others
Destroys our sense of scale
Write a short (50-100 word) response that connects Tolentino’s issues with Web 2.0 (social media era) and how information is presented on those platforms. If possible, connect how your chosen news story might be distorted on social media.
