Ismaili Digest Has Left All Social Media. Here's why ...
As of September 1, 2019, Ismaili Digest will stop posting to all social media platforms. This major decision was, surprisingly, not as difficult as it seemed once we looked closely at the issue. Given admissions by top tech executives that they deliberately designed social media to be addictive (and don't use, nor allow their children to use, it), and given also the now virtually irrefutable, frightening psychological and social harm from social media (especially to children) we decided we could not, in good conscience, continue to use it at the expense of the Jamat's well-being. This newsflash details this and the many other reasons behind our decision. We hope the Jamat and other publishers find it useful in their own review of the value and harm of continuing to use or publishing to social media.
