We cannot stand by and do nothing as social media platforms are used for political dirty tricks

from Enrique Dans for dummies · host 1197109420

Enrique Dans's Medium article discusses the manipulation of social media algorithms for political purposes, citing investigations into X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok. The article highlights how these platforms are allegedly used to promote far-right views and influence elections in various countries, including France and Romania. Dans argues this constitutes a significant threat to democracy and advocates for stricter regulations and transparency from social media companies. Examples of manipulative tactics include biased algorithms, astroturfing, and the creation of fake profiles. The author concludes that strong legal action is necessary if these platforms fail to self-regulate.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «We cannot stand by and do nothing as social media platforms are used for political dirty tricks«
