Social networks impact political participation by facilitating connections and information sharing among individuals, enhancing engagement. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter allow users to discuss political issues, organize events, and mobilize support for causes. These networks can amplify voices, particularly from marginalized communities, fostering a sense of community and collective action. Social networks also serve as tools for raising awareness about important issues, informing voters, and influencing public opinion. However, while they can enhance participation, they may also contribute to the spread of misinformation, challenging informed civic engagement.
