This is the question explored by Eva Klusová, a political scientist and data specialist at the Czech Academy of Sciences. Her research focuses on the mechanisms through which social media shape perceptions of “us” and “them,” as well as the role that emotions such as fear, anger, and resentment play in radicalisation. She examines how today’s information environment influences our decision-making, our relationship with institutions, and our ability to distinguish between reality, interpretation, and manipulation.
