Meta: The Digitized Social Monopoly

Challenge

The rapid expansion of Meta (formerly Facebook) through acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp has created a social media monopoly, raising concerns over user privacy, exploitative algorithms, and misinformation. This project aimed to communicate the impact of Meta’s monopoly on its users through a clear and compelling infographic.

My Contribution

  • Synthesized findings into a compelling narrative for the infographic.

  • Designed the infographic to effectively communicate key points using visuals like icons, charts, and structured layouts.

  • Included a call to action encouraging users to stay informed about data privacy and misinformation.

Outcome

The infographic successfully illustrated Meta's dominance in the social media space and the dangers of its monopolistic practices. It presented complex data in a visually accessible format and provided a clear, actionable message to the audience.

Intended Audience

Active users of Meta-owned platforms across different age groups and geographic locations, with a focus on raising awareness about the implications of Meta’s monopoly.
