summary

Argues that social media materially changed recent elections, claiming Twitter + Facebook = New York Times without losses and citing Donald Trump’s $2 billion of earned press and Nigel Farage’s YouTube-driven rise. Points to platform anonymity and perverse media incentives as concrete harms, and to the EU’s European internet forum partnering with companies to push counter‑narratives (searching “ISIS” now returns rebuttals). Stresses that public institutions publish work online and that democracy’s fragility depends on citizen responsibility, not just technology.
