Innledning
Greetings, fellow scholars,
I extend my heartfelt gratitude for this invaluable opportunity to address the distinguished audience at the London School of Economics, where I proudly stand as one of your peers within the Department of Media and Communications.
Before delving into the essence of my discourse, allow me to introduce myself to those who may be unfamiliar with my identity.
I am Marisa Ranthe, a fellow student dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding in the realm of media and communications.
Today, I aim to embark on a conversation that is of paramount significance to us all, considering our shared academic interests.
We live in an era dominated by the omnipresence of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
If I were to propose a scenario wherein the usage of these platforms was prohibited within the confines of our academic institution, how would you react? Undoubtedly, many among us would vehemently oppose such a restriction.
Personally, I am an ardent advocate for the empowerment of individuals through social media, yet within the hallowed halls of our school, I believe a prohibition on social media is warranted.
Utdrag
Moving forward, I shall pivot to the role of companies and their marketing strategies on social media platforms.
Companies have strategically harnessed the power of these platforms to reach millions of young consumers, considering our collective affinity for social media.
However, this strategy, on the surface, may appear flawless but beneath lies a complex landscape. Facebook, for instance, has witnessed an alarming increase in hateful and discriminatory content over the years.
Contrary to the platform's claims of effectively addressing hate, misinformation, and extremism, studies suggest a significant failure in this regard.
Social media is not solely a realm of culinary delights and heartwarming family photographs; it has also become a breeding ground for extremism and misinformation.
