https://video.publicspaces.net/videos/watch/04ae45f9-c403-4896-9a78-09fd6f0a747e Panel - Cross-sector collaboration to build social media that is truly social A growing part of our encounters, communication, and access to information takes place on Big Tech social media platforms. As a result, we are losing control over essential public functions and societal processes. How can we give proper shape to public functions such as democratic debate, reliable information, social connection, safe contact for vulnerable groups, culture, and public media in our digital space? Within TheNextSocials, organisations from different sectors are working together on this challenge. They are building digital environments where public values and sustainable relationships with the public are central — not as isolated islands, but as a landscape of connected environments within the digital public space. Enabling connection between content and audiences across different sectors. Alongside and in connection with existing platforms in the Open Social Web. Together we have the knowledge, the technology, and the critical mass to reclaim social media as our own!
