Social Media and Injustice series present a critical reflection of our research through the use of visual language in a form of animated comic strips. Working in collaboration with the LSFM at the University of Lincoln Mediaframe brings its contribution to the debate around many of the issues related to the use of social media including safety and security, privacy, data protection, defamation and libel, hate speech, gender, human rights, intellectual property rights and censorship.
