Abstract

The advent of globalised connectivity has intricately linked local communities with worldwide information dissemination, forming a global consciousness among individuals. This essay explores the interplay between globalised connectivity and the “risk society,” analyzing its impact on democracy. Through cases such as Cambridge Analytica, the Arab Spring, and the ICIJ, it reveals the dual nature of globalised connectivity, fostering democratic advancement while compromising data privacy. The essay underscores the need for active democratic participation while managing associated risks. As society navigates this transformative phase, harnessing globalised connectivity’s potential to amplify voices and ensure accountability is crucial for a balanced future of enhanced global democracy and personal information security.
