Is democracy being killed by social media or is social media democracy?
- Wednesday | 12th May, 2021
The question is, are we seeing the rise of Democracy 2.0 or the digital version of riots and uprisings? This gives social media platforms and their owners’ unprecedented power over people who are used to having unprecedented power over them. It is easy to see that social media is true democracy as everyone has a voice that anyone can hear. When democratically elected politicians use social media to incite unrest or encourage ‘direct action’, then the power of social media owners seems to be total. The oversight board decision on Trump will be important and perhaps provide clues as to exactly where Democracy 2.0 will lead us.
