It isn’t just policymakers, academics, and ethicists who should be thinking about applying the circle test. It’s us, as participants and super-participants. These platforms are empty vessels without us, and we determine whether they thrive or falter. As we choose whether or not to participate, we have an obligation to consider more than whether new power communities delight or make things easier for us, but also whether they are helping or harming the world all around us.
