I keep looking at all this as if it were a sci-fi movie. It’s not the poverty and aggressiveness of language that strikes me, and only partially is the content of what they say. I'm worried about what they're not saying, the world they want create. I am quite sure that this is only the beginning.

Trump’s (and others’) influence, coupled with big tech’s power, challenges democracy, fueling misinformation, censorship, and monopolistic control—sparking fears of a “post-democracy” era. A serious research agenda is crucial. We’re on it, but there’s much more to be done.
