Informed by the critical literacy framework (Freire, 1970; Lewison et al., 2008), this systematic literature review study investigates how the competences necessary to empower social media users map to an integrated conceptualization of social media that accounts for their unique features and broad range of opportunities and risks (Vanwynsberghe, 2014) as well as for the outcomes that emerge from users situated interaction with these technologies (Costa, 2018).
