Social media and global conflicts and emergencies - statistics & facts
Social media makes it easy for people to share experiences from the front lines of conflicts, as well as consume that content from almost anywhere in the world. As with most online spaces, social media has a dark underbelly of information. It can sometimes feel that all the positive that comes from constant connection is outweighed by the negative. Climate change denial minimizes the urgency of the issue, and ambiguous definitions of what constitutes freedom of speech lead to unrestrained discriminatory content. The online world can be a dangerous place with real-world implications.
