A panel discussion in English on social media and their effects, as part of the international series of panel discussions entitled "Battle of Ideas". The event is organized in cooperation with the Institute of Ideas and Hellenic American College (HAEC)...
Social media seems to have become an extension of one’s self for many. The ability of content to go viral and the seemingly non-hierarchical nature of social media has transformed political campaigning, journalism and reporting. And, while social media has been presented as a haven forFREE
speech, the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable to say is ever narrowing. Should we simply accept that we live in a new society where our privacy comes second to our desire to engage with others? Should politics be held to ransom by Twitter mobs? And has the media’s desire for instant reportage from social media spelt the end of source verification and context in reporting?
