LIFI26: Is it time to switch off social media?

Playhouse Square, Leeds, LS2 7UP

Description

On average, we check our phones over 100 times a day, with social media transforming how we think, vote, shop, and even date. But in a world of AI-generated content and mis/disinformation, has social media started to control us more than we control it?

Join our expert panel for a provocative debate on the platforms shaping modern life and analyse influencer culture to addictive doomscrolling. What is the real psychological impact, and is it finally time to switch it all off?
