Ce rol au jucat TikTok și Facebook în protestele fermierilor. Dîncu: Algoritmii accelerează ideile extreme și emoționale

Vasile Dîncu warns that online algorithms significantly impact democracies by amplifying polarizing and extremist messages. He advocates for EU mechanisms to mitigate these effects. His comments follow protests in Bucharest, mobilized largely through social media, where both farmer messages and conspiracy theories circulated. Dîncu emphasizes that algorithms favor emotionally charged content, undermining traditional democratic debate. He suggests the EU lacks tools to address sudden surges in extremist messages driven by algorithms, proposing a system similar to financial markets that could temporarily halt such spikes. Dîncu's role in the European Parliament includes addressing foreign interference and disinformation.
