#Socialmedia is often associated with manipulation, distraction, and #misinformation, factors that can undermine democratic discourse. ⛔
At the same time, digital platforms offer opportunities to strengthen #democracy by promoting political interest, participation, or knowledge. 📈

More than half of Americans get their news regularly from Tiktok. And this has more than doubled in 5 years. Tiktok has become a key gateway to news and politics.

This makes ownership of and content on the platform even more important.

@hannahdecker.bsky.social continues with insights into her prior research and her plans to understand how social media and personalization can actually benefit democracies (much needed positive focus 😀)

Mit dem Aus für politische #Ads wird die Reichweite für Inhalte, die #Meta als politisch oder gesellschaftlich relevant einschätzt, voraussichtlich weiter eingeschränkt. Im @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy durfte ich ein paar Gedanken zu dem Thema teilen.

Preparing for #ICA25 in Denver with a little time off was not a bad choice of @ymeier.bsky.social , @biancanowak.bsky.social, and myself. While battling jet lag, we had time to see some of the beautiful scenery Colorado has to offer and switch off from research for a while (at least on the hikes 😉).
