Why it matters: Traditional media, at least as a center of dominant power, is dead. Social media, as its replacement for news in the internet era, is declining in dominance. This means where you get your news, the voices you trust, and even the topics and cultural figures you follow could be wholly different from the person sitting next to you. So instead of Red America and Blue America, we'll have a dozen or more Americas — and realities. This will make understanding public opinion, and finding common agreement, even more complex and elusive. https://lnkd.in/e2iQNv6y

SMIDGE Update: Progress Report on Data Scraping The SMIDGE data scraping report by Dr. Line Nybro Petersen and Dr. Mikkel B?kby Johansen from University of Copenhagen (K?benhavns Universitet) looks into how extremist content spreads across social media, with a focus on mapping Instagram hashtags. By analysing hashtags and related memetic content, the study reveals how these networks cluster around popular conspiracy theories, such as COVID-19 and US politics, facilitating the spread of harmful narratives. The findings highlight the role of memetic practices, where humour and pop culture blend with extreme views, making them more palatable to a broader audience. This process of hybridization creates what we call "Hype Spaces"—where mainstream and fringe content converge, complicating efforts to counter disinformation and radical ideas.

The narrative that underlies events like January 6 isn’t just about protests turned violent. It follows a specific pattern that connects to historical precedent. Dubbed “palingenetic ultranationalism” by political theorist Roger Griffin in the 1990s, this narrative is one of national rebirth or, as we refer to it, “ultranationalism.” In collaboration with?Story Strategy Group, we examined the question—to what extent are young men engaging with content that carries the ultranationalist narrative? In short, the answer is complicated. Read a summary of key findings from the research in our?blogpost →→ https://lnkd.in/guTMC5Dm Dive deeper in the?full report →→ https://lnkd.in/gscAKsyi

The Social Media Paradox: Uniting or Dividing Us? Imagine a world where social media brings people together, fosters global connections, and amplifies marginalized voices. Sounds ideal, right? But, have you ever stopped to think about the darker side of social media - the spread of fake news, propaganda, and manipulation of public opinion? Social media has become a powerful tool for public discourse, challenging government practices and sparking movements like #EndSARS. However, it's also a breeding ground for misinformation, dividing us further and eroding trust. So, what's the solution? To harness social media's potential for good, we need to educate ourselves and others on media literacy. This means critically evaluating information, identifying biases, and seeking credible sources. By doing so, we can make informed decisions and engage in meaningful conversations. But, that's not all. We must also demand regulation to curb misinformation and hold social media platforms accountable. This includes advocating for policies that promote transparency, fact-checking, and accountability. As individuals, we can set standards for responsible social media use, avoiding echo chambers and engaging with diverse perspectives. As we navigate the complex world of social media, let's remember that our online actions have real-world consequences. By sharing credible information, engaging in respectful dialogue, and promoting media literacy, we can create a more informed, engaged, and united online community.

I’ve noticed a trend in human interactions lately that was no doubt hastened by the COVID-19 pandemic. This nascent movement could have significant if hidden implications for our culture – including everything from our politics to how some of us approach faith and business. In short, a funny thing is happening on the way to our digital utopia. (My latest commentary)

DEMOCRACY HAS NEVER BEEN THIS SOLIDIFIED Benefits of Unfiltered Social Media Information Enhanced Transparency: Social media democratizes information by allowing individuals to share firsthand accounts and real-time updates. This transparency ensures that the public has access to unedited facts, countering the often selective reporting of traditional media. Empowerment of Grassroots Movements: The immediacy of social media facilitates rapid mobilization and action. When people encounter raw, uncensored information, they are more inclined to engage, share, and advocate for change, fostering powerful grassroots movements and community-driven solutions. Amplification of Marginalized Voices: Social media provides a platform for voices that are frequently underrepresented or silenced in mainstream media. By offering a space for diverse perspectives, social media helps amplify marginalized communities and supports their efforts to address social injustices. Stimulated Public Discourse: The unfiltered nature of social media sparks important discussions and debates. This exchange of raw facts and ideas encourages critical thinking, helping society stay informed and actively participate in democratic processes. Counterbalance to Media/Political Manipulation: By providing a direct channel for information, social media serves as a crucial counterbalance to the curated narratives of traditional media. It plays a key role in challenging political manipulation and promoting a more informed and engaged public. In summary, the raw, uncensored information shared on social media promotes transparency, empowers grassroots activism, amplifies diverse voices, stimulates public discourse, and counters media manipulation. Embracing these benefits can lead to a more informed and participatory society. Soon, access to the internet could be deemed a fundamental human right!
