    Författare :Elin Lundqvist; Erik Nordmark; [2023]
    Nyckelord :sociala medier; public service; framtidsstudier; participatory futures; kontrafaktiska scenarier;

    Sammanfattning : As many of the issues associated with large commercial social media platforms can be attributed to their business models, it is important to explore platforms with alternative business models. Therefore, this study explores how young adults, aged 18-30, envision a Swedish publicly funded social media platform in terms of its purpose and functionality, the difference compared to commercial platforms, and how young adults view its potential implementation in Sweden in 2023.

These spaces have the potential to challenge the commoditized and consumerist urban practices and imagine alternative futures. LÄS MER
