Topics
Amy Webb: 本次美国大选的紧张气氛可能与信息传播的放大效应、表演型政治家以及科技行业CEO的介入有关，虽然其后果可能与以往大选相当，但感觉上却更加紧迫。科技公司和商业领袖对选举结果的影响可能比历史上其他关键时刻更大，这与当前科技发展阶段和规模化效应有关。 Shoshana Weissmann: 2016年和2020年大选对她来说感觉更紧张，这可能与她当时努力避免关注大选有关。 Nicholas De Leon: 亚利桑那州的政治氛围较为两极分化，但他也观察到一些政治宣传的无效性。科技公司试图通过讨好当选官员来获得利益，而当选官员也乐于接受这种行为，这是一种不道德的行为，应该受到谴责。 Leo Laporte: 科技公司对世界的影响日益增长，引发了人们对其责任的担忧。人们对政治信息的过载可能会导致他们选择不参与政治，这令人担忧。
