Perhaps Social Media has “democratized” lobbying?
Historically, only the vocal minorities with money could afford to influence politicians.
Now minorities without much money can get politicians attention too?
- briefcomment 6y agoI think it's more that social media secretly gave lobbyists another avenue. In addition to paying decision makers directly, then can pay for a small army of loud people. Before social media, that small army might make up a protest in the street or something. With social media, that small army can seem much larger than it actually is.
