The Global Impact of Social Media; How is it Changing and Expanding (Global Connections - recorded on 1/28/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Roopmati Khandekar.
The discussion was: Roopmati Khandekar, geopolitical analyst, helps us understand the influence of social media in various places, countries and societies around the world. How it is used for information and misinformation, personal and business communication, education, coding, photography and video production, advertising, entertainment and political influence. What are the most popular and influential social media platforms around the world, where did they originate and where and on what devices are they being used. The development and relative reach of TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram, Rednote and others. We discuss ownership, development, control, disinformation, censorship, regulation and moderation around the world. How do AI and politics play into their expanding influence, especially among young users who have limited education, resources and training.
The takeaway was: Social media is rapidly becoming the principal tool for information and political influence around the world. We need to know its current dynamics, effect and expansion, and how it will develop going forward.
