Abstract

This report explores the evolving landscape and critical challenges facing major social platforms. It examines how social media and social networks shape the environment within which organizations, including public service broadcasters like the BBC, operate. The report identifies possibilities for delivering new forms of public value, alongside the inherent risks, and discusses shifts towards more human-centric online spaces, the role of gaming, and the impact of algorithmic feeds.
