Social Media Ethics and COVID-19: Well-Being, Truth, Misinformation
and Authenticity explores ways that some of the best and worst
moments of the pandemic resulted from the interconnection of social
media and ethics. The ethical challenges social media poses for
corporate providers, government officials, and users existed well
before the outbreak of COVID-19: What responsibility do corporate
providers bear for inaccurate information posted by users? What
responsibility do users bear? In this "post-truth" and polarized
world, who defines "accurate information"? During the height of the
COVID-19 crisis, public health agencies, emergency management
agencies, and traditional news media used social media to
disseminate or to track information, while users found communities
for shared values or experiences. At the same time, users posted
and amplified inaccurate or misleading scientific and health
information, engaged in hate, and escalated conspiracy theories
that have proven detrimental to the public health response to
COVID-19. Edited by Pamela A. Zeiser and Berrin A. Beasley, this
collection brings together work from leading scholars in
communication, English, philosophy, and political science to
examine the ethical use of social media during COVID-19, offering
both a multidisciplinary understanding of the subject and tools for
managing the challenges found at the intersection of social media,
ethics, and COVID-19.
