he pre-conference “Social Media Influence” addresses how opaque, large social media platforms function as infrastructures of influence and how this affects democratic societies. Bringing together leading researchers, it focuses on theoretical, empirical and methodological work on platform power, including algorithmic curation, moderation, digital opinion leadership, bots and hybrid actors, user engagement patterns, and strategies to empower citizens and reduce information disorders.
