The development of digital technologies has a huge impact on modern society. Global information infrastructures are becoming a key site for the construction of cultural memory and discussion revealing overlapping international, national and local identities. However, increased access to knowledge, intercultural communication, civic participation and the development of creativity face communication and informational threats. These include fake news, increased aggression in the digital space, entrapment in an ‘information bubble’ and ‘digital amnesia’. A group of researchers from the Faculty of Communication at Vilnius University will investigate how this uncomfortable heritage manifests itself on social networks.
