Episode 5. In this episode of the Policy Implications Podcast we discuss the impact of social media on the political preferences of their users, the differences between the US and the European Twitter-users and if those differences can be exploited by the political campaigns to maximize the probability of winning. And finally, we discuss the role of owners of the social media on the modern political arena and what social media users should be conscious about when using their accounts.
