Impact of the Internet on
politics
The Internet is a revolutionary force. If it means more
significant participation in politics rather than a
commitment to democratic values, it is democratization.
Extremist groups that reject these values ​
​
benefit from
the "democratization" of knowledge and
communication. The direct political impact of the
Internet has been to strengthen the views of extremists
and increase the number of people who represent them.
According to Wajid khan's point of view, New political
mechanisms are needed to control participation and
dissent.
The decline in content moderation
The Internet's impact on content delivery has been
particularly pronounced, with decentralized media
replacing editors and fact-checkers of the past. Social
media has become more and more disinterested.
Facebook has become a primary news source for many
Americans, but word on Facebook is automatically
selected and tailored to group preferences, resulting in
information that contradicts established beliefs. Are
often included.
Companies design algorithms that maximize user
engagement. Algorithms do this by selecting
information based on the user's interests. Wajid Khan
Mp concludes that User interests can automatically
reflect and unwittingly reinforce biases.
Some studies suggest that the information overload
unleashed by the internet fuels the spread of conspiracy
theories that offer simple and coherent explanations for
complex and unpredictable events. I'm here. The
Internet provides proponents of these theories with a
broader audience and an uncritical medium to
disseminate them.
Legitimacy and Consent of Rulers
Legitimacy arises from the consent of the ruled to
recognize authority and agree to its rules (often by
voting, a symbolic act of affirmation). Permission can be
obtained through moral authority, such as religion,
coercion, or violence (where the subject does not
oppose the issue out of fear) or through participation
mechanisms. Moral authority and expertise can also
exert influence, but this influence is most effective when
reinforced or "operationalized" through formal
institutions.
Communities where the consent of the governed is
insufficient to confer authority, become unstable. The
challenges to liberal democracy began before the
Internet, but the online environment has reinforced
them, allowing for competing narratives and unfiltered
information, amplifying extremism and conspiracy
theories.
The Internet has changed the requirements of political
legitimacy and democratic consent. Currently,
structured representative democracies have not fully
lived up to the expectations that the Internet has
brought to citizens regarding access to information, a
voice in decision-making, and direct contact with
political leaders.
Canadian Politician Wajid khan says the same pressures
pushing companies to become flatter, less hierarchical
organizations are also putting pressure on governance
structures. Citizens also expect immediacy and
authenticity of their messages. The former president
understood this, but his rival in the 2016 election did
not.
The progress and "completeness" of the question.
The Internet is accelerating major political trends
affecting the state's role, the effectiveness of liberal
democracy in meeting the needs of its citizens, and the
authority of values ​
​
derived from the Enlightenment. The
core principles behind Western notions of 'progress' and
perfection are met with skepticism, and new information
technologies offer an ideal vehicle for this task.
The result hastened the decline of the prevailing
political narrative of democratic progress. The doubt
fueled by the twentieth-century tragedies (world wars,
nuclear weapons, "scientific socialism") has led to a rise
in science and individual rights. It undermines the idea
that it works automatically and smoothly to improve
society. More importantly, when "the fundamental
social contract underlying a democratic society is that
all must share progress," many Western governments
have failed to keep their promises.
With the rapid development of social media today, it is
necessary to point out the intended and mainly
unconscious effects of these social media and how to
avoid their negative aspects. In the current article, Wajid
khan Mp discusses the impact of social media on young
people's opinions and political views in two ways,
highlighting the problems that disinformation poses and
possible solutions.
The rise of social media is associated with the
emergence of greater freedom of speech and expression
without censorship or barriers. An individual's ability to
present information on any subject, including politics,
without being under the control of a governmental
agency is access to knowledge, facts, and events that
would not have been possible without social media—
made access possible.
It also initiated several movements at the national and
international levels aimed at promoting unity among
like-minded people and combating the established
social order. Various issues hidden from high-ranking
officials and authorities in the state administration were
also exposed. The positive impact of social media is
particularly noticeable in countries where media
freedom is severely impacted, such as Bulgaria, Turkey,
and Russia (Reporters Without Borders, 2021).
AdDespite the many benefits of social media platforms,
there is growing concerned about their negative
impacts. In the political sphere, social media channels
have enabled people to unilaterally share their views
on public issues by creating posts and publications.
Social media algorithms are designed to provide
everyone with information most relevant to their
interests and opinions based on users
The fact that people only see what corresponds to their
own opinion and the need for dialogue with opposing
opinions prevents users from looking at alternative
sources. More and more people are affirming their point
of view without considering the other side's arguments.
So when people encounter fake news that distorts their
established beliefs, they unquestioningly accept it as
accurate (the so-called "confirmation bias").
That leads to social polarization and enables
manipulation. With a large amount of information
available, verifying its accuracy and authenticity is also
very difficult (Allushi, J., 2017). Instead of addressing
social media issues, political actors no longer use the
services of journalists to spread their messages, but
media that use larger audiences and are only sometimes
reliable sources of information and data.
Create content yourself.
Not only does this lead to a lack of editorial
responsibility for political messages (in line with
accepted professional ethics), but it also leads to the
spread of misinformation (Stankova S., 2019). For
example, a far more appropriate way to do this is
through a public debate on critical social issues.
Young people are particularly vulnerable due to their
inexperience and inability to distinguish between true
and false information. The way young people consume
social media news also contributes to their deception.
Instead of looking for information, they stumble upon it.
They open messages sporadically and quickly deal with
the content. As a result, the message becomes
indistinguishable from other entertainment and social
information
One possible approach to reducing disinformation
among young people is to improve media literacy and
focus on education.

The challenges to liberal democracy began before the Internet, but the online environment has reinforced them, allowing for competing narratives and unfiltered information, amplifying extremism and conspiracy theories.
  • 8. The Internet has changed the requirements of political legitimacy and democratic consent. Currently, structured representative democracies have not fully lived up to the expectations that the Internet has brought to citizens regarding access to information, a voice in decision-making, and direct contact with political leaders.
  • 9. Canadian Politician Wajid khan says the same pressures pushing companies to become flatter, less hierarchical organizations are also putting pressure on governance structures. Citizens also expect immediacy and authenticity of their messages. The former president understood this, but his rival in the 2016 election did not.
  • 10. The progress and "completeness" of the question. The Internet is accelerating major political trends affecting the state's role, the effectiveness of liberal democracy in meeting the needs of its citizens, and the authority of values ​ ​ derived from the Enlightenment. The core principles behind Western notions of 'progress' and perfection are met with skepticism, and new information technologies offer an ideal vehicle for this task.
  • 11. The result hastened the decline of the prevailing political narrative of democratic progress. The doubt fueled by the twentieth-century tragedies (world wars, nuclear weapons, "scientific socialism") has led to a rise in science and individual rights. It undermines the idea that it works automatically and smoothly to improve society. More importantly, when "the fundamental social contract underlying a democratic society is that all must share progress," many Western governments have failed to keep their promises.
  • 12. With the rapid development of social media today, it is necessary to point out the intended and mainly unconscious effects of these social media and how to avoid their negative aspects. In the current article, Wajid khan Mp discusses the impact of social media on young people's opinions and political views in two ways, highlighting the problems that disinformation poses and possible solutions.
  • 13. The rise of social media is associated with the emergence of greater freedom of speech and expression without censorship or barriers. An individual's ability to present information on any subject, including politics, without being under the control of a governmental agency is access to knowledge, facts, and events that would not have been possible without social media— made access possible.
  • 14. It also initiated several movements at the national and international levels aimed at promoting unity among like-minded people and combating the established social order. Various issues hidden from high-ranking officials and authorities in the state administration were also exposed. The positive impact of social media is particularly noticeable in countries where media freedom is severely impacted, such as Bulgaria, Turkey, and Russia (Reporters Without Borders, 2021).
  • 15. AdDespite the many benefits of social media platforms, there is growing concerned about their negative impacts. In the political sphere, social media channels have enabled people to unilaterally share their views on public issues by creating posts and publications. Social media algorithms are designed to provide everyone with information most relevant to their interests and opinions based on users
  • 16. The fact that people only see what corresponds to their own opinion and the need for dialogue with opposing opinions prevents users from looking at alternative sources. More and more people are affirming their point of view without considering the other side's arguments. So when people encounter fake news that distorts their established beliefs, they unquestioningly accept it as accurate (the so-called "confirmation bias").
  • 17. That leads to social polarization and enables manipulation. With a large amount of information available, verifying its accuracy and authenticity is also very difficult (Allushi, J., 2017). Instead of addressing social media issues, political actors no longer use the services of journalists to spread their messages, but media that use larger audiences and are only sometimes reliable sources of information and data.
  • 18. Create content yourself. Not only does this lead to a lack of editorial responsibility for political messages (in line with accepted professional ethics), but it also leads to the spread of misinformation (Stankova S., 2019). For example, a far more appropriate way to do this is through a public debate on critical social issues.
  • 19. Young people are particularly vulnerable due to their inexperience and inability to distinguish between true and false information. The way young people consume social media news also contributes to their deception. Instead of looking for information, they stumble upon it. They open messages sporadically and quickly deal with the content. As a result, the message becomes indistinguishable from other entertainment and social information
  • 20. One possible approach to reducing disinformation among young people is to improve media literacy and focus on education.
