Per the Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report 2022, depending on the country, between 32% and 82% of people access news through social media. This growing trend has allowed tech companies to shape choices and norms for communication and ultimately structure the information and communication space.
Evidence has shown that the opacity surrounding tech companies’ management and valorisation has led to increasing harm to public debate, amplifying violent content and conspiracy theories, while struggling to promote diversity of ideas and information and favor media pluralism.
There is a pressing need to implement new safeguards to guarantee pluralism of information online.
