Social Media and Disinformation

As an older millennial, I was in the first generation to truly grow up with social media. I was on MySpace with my obligatory friend Tom. I was a freshman in college when Facebook first came into existence and I was one of the earliest adopters in April 2004. Facebook was started at Harvard and initially became a college–only social media site. Originally at thefacebook.com, the site expanded to other colleges, and I was at one of the first dozen or so colleges to which they expanded. You had to have a .edu email address from one of the colleges or Universities to create an account.
