In times of crisis, people have an increased demand for information and tend to turn to social media for updates. Online conversations, both public discussions and private messaging, play a crucial role in disseminating information and forming people’s opinions about current issues. However, when it comes to controversial topics related to crises, such as migration, or war, these conversations fuel emotional responses, potentially leading to polarisation. Furthermore, these discussions can create a false impression that they represent a majority, which may lead to the suppression of voices in the public space. Against this general background, this panel brings together contributions that shed light on the dynamics of crises and the role and influence of social media.
