Hi, George Duke Mukoro.
Well, Social conglomerates and media platforms play pivotal roles in modern civil unrest by facilitating the rapid dissemination of information, organizing protests, and amplifying societal grievances. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp enable the swift spread of news, including misinformation, which can mobilize protests and shape public sentiment.
They also help draw international attention to local issues, increasing pressure on governments.
To mitigate these impacts and prevent economic losses, governments can implement regulatory measures such as improving content moderation, enhancing transparency in algorithms, and establishing real-time monitoring systems.
Additionally, promoting digital literacy can help the public better discern credible information. Studies on events like the Arab Spring and the 2020 U.S. protests illustrate the profound influence of social media on civil unrest, highlighting the need for balanced regulatory approaches that protect freedom of expression while ensuring public safety.
