Donald Trump may be unfit to be America's president, but he clearly is a masterof social media. His often outrageous tweets have earned the real-estate magnate-turned-politician more than 7m followers on Twitter. And most messages are seen by millions more because they are forwarded thousands of times and get extensive coverage in mainstream media. Mr Trump's campaign is thus proof of how important social media have become to politics and all kinds of collective action. How is this changing democracy?
唐纳德·特朗普或许不适合当美国总统，但他明显是一位社交媒体大师。他那些经常是不靠谱的推文已经给这位由房地产大亨转型而来的政客在推特上赢得了700多万粉丝。同时，由于大多数帖子得到上千次的转发和主流媒体的详尽报道，它们会被另外的数百万人看到。因而，特朗普的选战是社交媒体之于政治和各类集体行为重要性的一个例证。这种情况正在如何改变民主呢?

Political scientists have long pointed out that social media make it easier for interests to organise: they give voice and power to people who have neither. For instance, they helped get Black Lives Matter, a movement fighting violence against African-Americans, off the ground, according to a recent study led by Deen Freelon of the American University in Washington, DC. But research into another effect has only just begun: social media are also making politics and collective action more “chaotic”,argues a new book called “Political Turbulence”.
政治学家早已指出，社交媒体让利益更易于协调：它们赋予无权无势之人以话语权和权力。例如，根据华盛顿特区美国大学的Deen Freelon领导的最新研究，它们成功地推动了反对针对非裔美国人暴力运动——Black Lives Matter。但是，对另一种影响的研究才刚刚开始：一本名为《政治湍流》(Political Turbulence)的新书指出，社交媒体还正在让政治和集体行为变得更加“混沌无序”。
