Since Elon Musk purchased Twitter, now known as X, in 2022, the platform has intentionally amplified mis/disinformation and alt-right views. In January 2025, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, announced new policies that eliminated the company’s in-house fact-checking and moderation teams, permitted hate speech towards immigrants and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and sought to bring “masculine energy” into the company's corporate culture. In mid-January 2025, the US Government, through a bi-partisan agreement, supported a ban on TikTok due to alleged data and security concerns, only to have the Trump administration give the app a reprieve if it sold a 50% stake to the US government. While these examples are only from the past few months, there is a growing body of evidence showing that social media is negatively affecting mental health, social cohesion, negatively impacting the environment, and even contributing to acts of genocide around the world - this begs the question, can social media be used by museums and ethical and socially-responsible ways?

Join a panel of arts, culture, and heritage peers to discuss the social, cultural, and environmental impacts of some of the largest social media platforms in the world and discuss strategies for more socially responsible ways of communicating the work of museums with broader audiences. This online discussion will provide an opportunity to critically reflect on the tools we use in our work and offer strategies for communicating online and building audiences without further empowering companies that are actively contributing to harm.

BCMA Panel: Museums, Social Media, and Hate - What Does the Ethical Use of Social Media in 2025 Look Like?
