The influence of the Internet and social networks on political behavior in modern society

Abstract

 This article presents an analysis of the literature on the influence of the Internet
and social networks on political behavior. The study covers the effects on opinion formation,
mobilization, agitation, and issues related to disinformation. The results emphasize the
complexity of the influence and highlight the need for further research in this area.
Both positive and negative aspects of the impact of the digital space on the political sphere are
analyzed. The Internet expands access to information and increases citizen participation in
political life, but there are also risks of manipulation and destructive influence.
The article underscores the importance of subsequent research, especially in the context of
the constantly evolving digital landscape and the evolution of social networks. This analysis
provides a fundamental basis for a deeper understanding of the influence of the Internet on
political behavior in contemporary society.
