| Sumario etc. | Populist and extreme voices that once existed at the margins of European party systems have now<br/>become mainstream. From the rise of Italy's Five Star Movement to the electoral successes of Alternative<br/>für Deutschland (AfD) in Germany and Poland's Law and Justice Party (PiS), the populist wave that has<br/>swept over Europe in the last decade has baffled many political analysts and observers. Whilst initially<br/>understood as a reflection of the economic anxieties brought about by the 2008 financial crisis, it has<br/>become apparent that the recent surge of anti-establishment parties was strengthened by growing<br/>fears of cultural liberalisation, mass immigration and the perceived abandonment of national<br/>sovereignty to the diktats of globalised elites.<br/>As public discourse coarsens and tensions rise, there is a growing sense that European society is more<br/>polarised than ever before. Against this backdrop, new digital technologies have taken centre stage in<br/>political processes – both as a source of information and a campaigning platform. In critical moments<br/>of public life, citizens of Europe increasingly consult social media for news about politics and public<br/>affairs. Such new and relatively unregulated platforms create new opportunities for nefarious actors to<br/>deliberately push false content and distort information flows for political gain. While the political, social<br/>and ideological forces that drive citizens apart are varied and complex, in recent years, scholars and<br/>policy-makers have increasingly pointed to digital technology as one of the potential drivers of<br/>polarisation.<br/>The following report explores the relationship between these two phenomena in contemporary Europe.<br/>It does so by first reviewing two core mechanisms through which social media could be polarising<br/>European publics: inadvertently, through design choices and incentives (2.1 Polarisation by design) that<br/>potentially narrow the diversity of information accessed by individuals while facilitating the<br/>dissemination of divisive and emotionally-charged content; and deliberately (2.2 Polarisation by<br/>manipulation), through the exploitation of loopholes in an attention-driven media ecosystem to stoke<br/>divisions and manipulate users.<br/>We then outline three counter-trends, whereby technology has and could continue to facilitate a better<br/>relationship between European publics and civic life, starting with social media as a catalyst and focal<br/>point for political activism, mobilisation and organising (4.1). We then touch on the powers of digital<br/>nudging, its effects on giving, civic debate and voting practices, paying special attention to how<br/>purposeful design and positive social nudging can help create healthier online environments and<br/>incentivise political engagement (4.2). Finally, we survey how advances in artificial intelligence,<br/>although still in their infancy, offer new opportunities to bring about better accountability and<br/>transparency in online information environments (4.3).<br/>In the last section of this report, we sketch out how these trends may continue in the future. We note<br/>that as individuals increasingly retreat to private spaces to access and discuss political news and<br/>information, new challenges will emerge for policy-makers to monitor and remedy the spread of<br/>misleading, false or polarising information (5.1). Beyond that, many of today's political manipulation<br/>tools are likely to sharpen with time as they benefit from technological advances in artificial intelligence<br/>and increasingly embedded communication cultures. This could take the form of increasingly<br/>sophisticated conversational interfaces and 'deepfakes' for example – an image synthesis technique<br/>already used to create hoaxes and falsehoods involving politicians (5.2). Yet as technology becomes<br/>more and more politicised and regulatory efforts are ramped up to address these new threats, we<br/>caution against short-sighted legal action, which if taken precipitously, could have chilling effects on<br/>democracy itself (5.3). |
