Things move fast on social media. So quickly in fact that when this episode of VS was recorded in early 2023, the site now known as X to some had a completely different name and Threads was but a glint – albeit one slightly shinier than the metaverse – in Mark Zuckerberg’s eye. In April 2023, nobody was organising supposed ‘cage matches’ to settle battles between social-media giants. Instead, we invited two smart minds to debate the pros and cons of their preferred platforms. For journalist, author and TikTok creator Sophia Smith Galer, TikTok is a vital part of getting stories heard. For fellow journalist Aina J Khan, Twitter has been an essential tool over the last decade and a half for being part of the debate in the online space.
