In a world under quarantine, platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Zoom have moved from mediating our social fabric to becoming our social fabric. They are how people across the globe are making sense of the crisis, coordinating critical services, receiving support, and expressing their pain.

For years, the Center for Humane Technology has been working with technologists at leading tech platforms to build more humane technology that supports wellbeing, connection, and sensemaking about global threats. Along with our allies, we are using our capabilities to help elevate the best ways social media platforms can apply their unique strengths to fight COVID-19.
