Center for Humane Technology

Common card · No. 386726

The Center for Humane Technology (CHT) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to applying and encouraging ethics in consumer-facing technology, including social media. It claims many issues stem from the modern technology industry, which it says includes internet addiction, mental health issues, political extremism, political polarization, and misinformation. Launched in 2018, the organization gained greater awareness after its involvement in the Netflix original documentary The Social Dilemma, which examined how social media's design and business model manipulates people's views, emotions, and behavior and causes addiction, mental health issues, harms to children, disinformation, polarization, and more. The film was watched by 38 million households in its first month, making it the second-most watched documentary on Netflix.
