Topics

Sadiq Khan: 工党在英国大选中取得了历史性胜利，这与欧洲其他国家右翼民粹主义政党崛起形成鲜明对比。工党胜选的关键在于强调希望和变革，而不是利用民众的恐惧。Keir Starmer 采取了一种务实的方法，优先考虑财政稳定和长期规划，避免做出无法兑现的承诺。关于移民问题，Sadiq Khan 认为应该解释移民的积极方面，并解决民众的合理担忧，而不是利用移民问题煽动仇恨。他还强调了控制边境和建立安全通道的重要性。在应对虚假信息方面，Sadiq Khan 指出社交媒体算法只呈现单方面信息，缺乏事实核查，导致年轻人容易被洗脑。社交媒体公司为了盈利，会利用算法传播负面信息和虚假信息，这损害了民主制度。他呼吁社交媒体公司自我监管，否则政府将不得不进行监管，以应对深度伪造等技术带来的恶意行为。他还强调了从小教育年轻人批判性思维和事实核查能力的重要性，以及政府在应对危机时需要保持公信力，并利用可信的专家来教育公众。 Jon Stewart: 就英国大选结果与欧洲民粹主义抬头进行对比分析，并探讨了社交媒体和媒体的运作方式如何加剧社会冲突和民众焦虑，这可能会危及民主制度。他还指出，政治家有时也会传播虚假信息，这使得打击虚假信息变得更加复杂。政府在监管社交媒体方面能力不足，这为民粹主义者提供了可乘之机。美国大选的结果对全球地缘政治格局有着深远的影响，呼吁选民在投票时不仅要考虑自身利益，也要考虑对全球的影响。
