What kind of companies have the greatest opportunities to influence public opinion? I hereby inquire about the influence of various entities, institutions and companies on the shaping of public opinion, on a specific information transfer, propagated through the mass media and shaping the general social consciousness in this way. Some scientists studying this issue formulate the thesis that currently the largest technology companies operating on the Internet, such as Google and companies that run the largest social media portals have the greatest opportunities in this matter. Do you agree with this opinion? Do you have a different opinion on this matter?
Please answer
Best wishes
