Ethics.

How do charity communicators choose which online platforms will work for them and their audiences in a world where big tech is becoming more and more morally bankrupt.

Ross McCulloch @thirdsectorlab.co.uk · Feb 14

If SaaS brands were honest -

Slack: Clutter your brain, not your inbox.

Notion: Organize everything, get nothing done.

Zoom: Meetings that should have been emails.

SurveyMonkey: Ask questions, regret the answers.

Dropbox: Store files you'll never look at again.
