Culture politiche, informazione e partecipazione nell'arena politica 2.0

New information technologies imply unlimited and unprecedented possibilities for information and participation enhancement, but the data on how information is produced, circulated and acquired on the Net reveals a less idealistic picture. Social Networks in particular are in fact mostly used for amusement, evasion and self-consolatory scopes. Even when the digital citizens turn to them in order to be informed and to take a stand, the risk of finding themselves closed in echo chambers working on a confirmation bias scheme is high. This work analyzes how information and pseudo-information circulates over the Net and its consequences in terms of the construction of public discourse.
