Overview
In a world saturated with applications and social networks where people seek to simplify themselves and often disconnect from the web, the need arises to keep people connected but without exploiting dopamine abuse or damaging mental health. SenaNet is a social network service for sharing photos and videos that seeks to position itself as the new and definitive social network that care about its users by encouraging and raising awareness about the time of use of the application and the consequences of dark patterns and confusing business models.
Problem
Studies have linked apps like Instagram to depression, body image concerns, self-esteem issues, social anxiety, and other problems. Many of these social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, can be hotspots for spreading hurtful rumors, lies, and abuse that can leave lasting emotional scars. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to the negative consequences of social media use, including sleep disturbance, poor body image, disordered eating and worse.
