#1 Social Media, Algorithms and Politics: Lessons from Research and Challenges for Policy - with Pedro Ramaciotti-Morales

In this first interview, we discuss with Pedro Ramaciotti-Morales about the ever-evolving landscape of social media, online politics, and algorithms. From elections to individual opinions, we've heard it all - polarization, segregation, algorithmic manipulation. But as new studies emerge, our understanding has shifted over the years. Let's explore the changing narratives and hypotheses surrounding social media's impact on politics and democracy. By tracing the history of these debates, we uncover where our focus should lie in advancing our understanding and shaping governance systems that serve society's best interests.
