How to use social media without it using you

In a world where users can’t directly improve social-media platforms, Yair Rosenberg writes, we can at least make better choices to protect ourselves. One of those choices, as Rosenberg lays out in his “seven social-media commandments,” includes blocking those who use the platform for anger and abuse, instead of continuing to accommodate them. By cultivating our social-media landscapes, we can reap the benefits of technology while reducing potential harm.

Today’s newsletter brings you stories about how you can better use social media.
