Hall Ebbott debuts with Entre amigos, a novel that dissects friendship without sugarcoating. The work explores how human bonds can be both an emotional support and a stage for abuse, in line with the reflections of the Me Too movement. Ebbott suggests that friendship is not a gift, but constant work, and his narrative shows the cracks in that labor.

In the development of social platforms, the technical architecture must prioritize security without sacrificing fluidity. Implementing moderation systems based on behavioral pattern analysis helps detect early manipulations. A user-centered design, with granular permissions and contextual notifications, allows replicating that constant work Ebbott describes. The key is balancing freedom of expression with tools that prevent abuse, using algorithms trained with ethical data.

If friendship requires maintenance, as Ebbott says, then many of us have been skipping the emotional MOT for years. On social media, this translates into accumulating friends like trophies and forgetting that even the most polished algorithm needs its password changed every now and then. In the end, between unfollows and silences, perhaps the best thing is to apply a factory reset to social life.
