Democracy in the Digital Age

Democracy in the Digital Age refers to how technology, particularly the internet and social media, affects democratic processes and citizens' participation in governance. It enables greater access to information, allows for more direct communication between leaders and the public, and fosters activism and civic engagement. However, it also presents challenges, such as the spread of misinformation, digital surveillance, and the influence of powerful tech companies. Balancing the benefits of digital platforms with the risks to privacy and informed decision-making is crucial for maintaining a healthy democracy in this new landscape.
