  • The document examines the dual nature of social media as a tool that both supports and undermines democratic processes. It highlights how platforms enable protest movements like 'Black Lives Matter' and 'Rhodes Must Fall' to shift political agendas, while simultaneously allowing negative actors to deploy misinformation and surveillance. The author argues that because these platforms are privately owned and monetise interaction, they create a complex regulatory ecosystem requiring a holistic response rather than a binary view of the technology as purely good or bad.
