Social Media Propaganda

Social media propaganda involves the deliberate spread of information, often biased or misleading, to influence public opinion or behavior. Through platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, individuals or groups share messages—such as false news, exaggerated claims, or emotionally charged content—to sway perceptions, promote specific agendas, or manipulate audiences. Because social media allows rapid, wide-reaching communication, propaganda can easily reach diverse audiences, making critical thinking and media literacy essential for identifying and minimizing its impact.
