Facebook Democracy: When venom goes viral (part 1)
Are the likes of Facebook friends with democracy? In its short existence, the social network has become so ubiquitous that Donald Trump's campaign spent more money there than on TV advertising.

We ask how several essentially US-owned digital giants have come to dominate the global media and news landscape. Has the internet of 2016 morphed into Big Brother? Click here for PART TWO.
Produced by Charles WENTE, François WIBAUX and Laure FOURQUET.
