In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northern Virginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other people should consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.

I think of this event as typical of the conflicted relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown wary of the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, I met a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.

In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption (端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.

All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane.

1.Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?

A.His video caused many arguments.

B.His video was shared without his permission.

C.His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.

D.His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.

2.Why does the author mention the story of his partner?

A.To prove that social media has some benefits.

B.To advise people to break away from social media.

C.To tell the negative effects social media may produce.

D.To describe people’s conflicted relationships with social media.

3.What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?

A.To attract more users.

B.To make more profits.

C.To improve network environment.

D.To provide more convenient service.

4.What does the IndieWeb intend to do?

A.Develop new social-media platforms.

B.Set up principles of the use of social media.

C.Improve the existing social-media platforms.

D.Help social-media companies to make reformation.
