«Hay que recuperar el respeto por los contenidos en la acción política, por la sustancia, por el fondo.» «El desafío es inmenso porque los cimientos de nuestras sociedades se están tambaleando, mientras el orden internacional amenaza con fragmentarse.» «Un partido emergente como Ciudadanos tiene un recorrido grande. Y el Partido Popular, si evita el riesgo de centrifugación y recupera el dinamismo de su proyecto político con una imagen reconocible para el electorado, no es un partido desahuciado.»

When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought.

One of the most fiercely debated issues of this era is what to do about "bad" speech—hate speech, disinformation and propaganda campaigns, and incitement of violence—on the internet, and in particular speech on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. In Social Media, Freedom of Speech, and the Future of Our Democracy, Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone have gathered an eminent cast—including Hillary Clinton, Sheldon Whitehouse, Mark Warner, Cass Sunstein, and others—to explore the various dimensions of this problem in the American context.

A muchos les parece evidente la incapacidad de esta administración de conformar un programa de gobierno viable, la cortedad de su agenda, la politización de todas las decisiones públicas, la consecuente polarización y la falta de habilidad técnica de no pocos de sus cuadros. Sin embargo, la oposición tampoco ha logrado reconstruirse para recuperar su credibilidad y se prevé como altamente probable un segundo mandato de la coalición gobernante.

What is the impact of surveillance capitalism on our right to free speech? The internet once promised to be a place of extraordinary freedom beyond the control of money or politics, but today corporations and platforms exercise more control over our ability to access information and share knowledge to a greater extent than any state.

In der Gegenwart scheinen sie präsenter denn je, und es hat sich verändert, wer wofür oder wogegen und in welcher Form protestiert: von Frauen, die ihre Kopftücher verbrennen, über Bauern, die mit ihren Traktoren Straßen blockieren, oder Klimaaktivist:innen, die sich am Boden festkleben, bis hin zu Social-Media-Posts unter Hashtags wie GegenRechts, MeToo oder MutZurWahrheit.

Two defense experts explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most important battles are now only a click away. Through the weaponization of social media, the Internet is changing war and politics, just as war and politics are changing the Internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, “Twitter wars” produce real world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of nations. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that plays out on our smartphones.
