Fitcheck – Can social media support democracy?

Whether on TikTok, Insta, or Twitch – social media is the place where young voices get loud. But what remains after going viral? Is this already democracy – or just performance with a filter?
At #Fitcheck we speak plainly: About algorithms that push extreme content. It's about viral activism, hate, hope, and the question: Can social media also be democracy?
With host Victoria Reichelt and her guests, the discussion revolves around how much real participation is possible on social media – and what needs to happen to prevent the net from becoming an echo chamber, but instead a democratic space. 45 minutes of deep dive between shitstorm and solidarity – come through!
