AIxDemocracy by IMPAKT: Radicalization by Design
Richard Rogers (US/NL), Bharath Ganesh (US/NL), Marc Tuters (CA/NL), Arjon Dunnewind (NL)
Social-Media-Plattformen füttern das Rohmaterial der Jugendkultur direkt in den nationalistisch-populistischen Aufstand, der derzeit den Planeten erfasst. Die Furcht vor einem existenziellen Feind vor den Toren der Festung Europa - oder vielmehr vor einem Feind innerhalb der Festung - wird durch diesen neuen politischen Stil vor allem in den Online-Kulturkriegen geschürt. Radicalization by Design diskutiert die Frage, ob unsere Medien uns radikalisieren. Verbinden uns die sozialen Medien oder reißen sie uns auch auseinander? Wie wirken sich Trolle, Verschwörungstheorien und Memes auf die Politik aus? Die Podiumsdiskussion erörtert Fragen der Redefreiheit, der radikalen Rede und der Entfremdung.
