From Syria, to Yemen, Burkina Faso, Myanmar, Mali, and the United States – conflict has migrated to online spaces. Recognizing this important shift, peace-builder and Ashoka Fellow Helena Puig Larrauri, co-founded Build Up to transform conflict in the digital age. Working with NGOs, UN agencies, community leaders and multilateral organizations, Build Up develops innovative tech solutions to conflict.

Over the years, tackling the exponential growth of viral polarizing content spread on social media has become a pressing challenge for peacebuilders and a key question emerged: What if we made social media platforms pay for the harms they produce, like polarization? Imagine a tax on polarization, akin to a carbon tax.

Join us on May 3, live from London, as we explore novel ideas on how to measure and reduce the polarization footprint of social media platforms.
