The Observatory of Online Politics is dedicated to monitoring the evolving role of digital platforms in shaping political discourse and societal outcomes.

Online platforms have transformed the political landscape, offering new avenues for public engagement, information sharing, and community building. However, they have also become hotspots for disinformation, manipulation, and polarization, raising critical challenges for democratic societies.

Established as part of the Political Deception in the Digital Era project, funded by Saarland University and directed by Rosa M. Navarrete, the Observatory serves as a research hub focused on analyzing and understanding these dynamics. Our goal is to provide valuable insights into how political actors operate online, particularly during pivotal events like electoral campaigns, and to contribute to the broader understanding of online politics in today’s digital age.

Through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and public engagement, the Observatory of Online Politics aims to equip society with the knowledge to navigate and address the challenges posed by the digital political sphere.
