THE WOMAN RALLYING TEENS TO CHANGE SOCIAL MEDIA

Featuring the work of Larissa May

At a recent session with a group of high-schoolers, digital-wellness advocate Larissa May explained how social-media apps tune their algorithms to keep users scrolling. She helped some students write a potential new smartphone and social-media policy for the school, San Francisco University High School—it included a screen-free table at lunch and a pact among students to seek permission to post another’s photo.
