      Once social media was seen as a great leveller: a place for people of all walks of life to discuss ideas, and where anyone could go viral.

      This has been particularly emphasised over the last year. Movements like Black Lives Matter and Kill the Bill took off on social media and have helped affect change at home and across the globe. In recent months, entire political parties have been launched on social media and have been able to raise thousands of pounds.

      However, it is becoming clear that social media can also be a place where existing inequalities can be entrenched. Large political parties can spend thousands of pounds projecting their content, and big brands can pay influencers to promote their products.

      This raises the question: how fair is the internet in 2021? Is it a digital democracy, or is our social media landscape as uneven as our political and economic one?

      A webinar by the Bylines Network: 18May, 6pm

      On 18 May at 6pm, our panel of experts from politics and business try to answer these questions, looking at how social media can drive change, and the barriers that it can run into.

This is the platform on which he recently campaigned to be Labour’s candidate for West Yorkshire mayor.
