Media społecznościowe, dezinformacja i partycypacja polityczna. Studium porównawcze Nigerii i Polski
Streszczenie w języku polskim
Niniejsze badanie porównawcze analizuje, w jaki sposób media społecznościowe ukształtowały partycypację polityczną i postawy społeczne w dwóch odmiennych kontekstach demokratycznych: w Nigerii i w Polsce podczas ostatnich procesów wyborczych. Opierając się na ukierunkowanej analizie treści raportów Citizen Report 2025 oraz 2025 Polish Presidential Election Report, sprawdzono, jak obywatele korzystali z platform cyfrowych w różnych warunkach politycznych i instytucjonalnych. W Nigerii media społecznościowe wspierały aktywizm młodzieży i obywatelski monitoring wyborów, jednak dezinformacja, zagrożenia w cyberprzestrzeni i słabe reakcje instytucjonalne wyraźnie hamowały te wysiłki. W Polsce skoordynowane kampanie dezinformacyjne, w tym zagraniczne operacje wpływu, nasiliły z kolei polaryzację polityczną i osłabiły zaufanie publiczne, pomimo zastosowania instytucjonalnych środków zaradczych. Wyniki te, zinterpretowane przez pryzmat teorii kapitału społecznego i teorii sfery publicznej, wskazują, że to, czy media społecznościowe wzmacniają, czy osłabiają procesy demokratyczne, zależy od odporności państwa, kultury politycznej oraz zdolności do skutecznego reagowania na cyfrowe manipulacje.
