The Internet and Democracy Project

The Internet and Democracy Project studies how the internet affects democratic processes, such as elections, political participation, and public debate. It examines both the positive impacts, like increased access to information and civic engagement, and the negative ones, such as misinformation and polarization. By analyzing online platforms and their influence on society, the project aims to understand how digital technologies can support or undermine democratic values. Ultimately, it seeks to inform policymakers, activists, and the public about the challenges and opportunities the internet presents for democracy in the modern world.
