“…Thirdly, these results point to the fact that different contexts require different legislations adapted to the specific context (Cadwalladr 2018 ). Our manuscript shows therefore the necessity of the creation of an online discursive space which legally protects citizens to manipulation (Iandoli et al 2021 ).…”

“…GP has been largely studied in offline settings since the 1960s (Myers and Lamm 1976 ). In the last decade or so, studies have begun to look at how Social Media (SM) were able to provide a new impulse in human communication (Matuszewski and Szabó 2019 ) and the potential impact on the configuration of the social and political debate (Barberá et al 2015 ; Barberá and Rivero 2015 ; Iandoli et al 2021 ).…”

“…However, the debate about the relationship between GP and the exposure of political diversity is still progressing. Some authors estimate the cause-and-consequence effect could be to moderate and reduce it (Barberá 2014 ; Iandoli et al 2021 ), while others believe the opposite (Bail et al 2018 ; Prior 2013 ) and claim for a more aggravation of the political atmosphere.…”

“…patterns of information sharing based on a set of strong political beliefs which impedes the introduction to opposing political views (Becker et al 2019 ). While extant research exists about the role of social media echo-chambers on social polarization, there is a lack of agreement between empirical results (Iandoli et al 2021 ). Some authors point them as the cause of large exacerbation of negative messages, while others differ.…”

The impact of the social media (SM) has been seen on the one hand as the cause of large exacerbation of negative messages, responsible for massively harmful societal phenomenon against democracies. On the other hand, recent studies have begun to look at how these online channels were able to provide a new impulse in human communication. The novelty of our work resides on analysing several axes of polarizations related to different societal topics. We believe our approach to reflect a more complex society, differing from the recent literature, which has considered a unique left–right dichotomic cleavage. Our methodology consists of extracting topics from the priority themes of the SM debate, using BERT language processing techniques and TF-IDF model. Our results show situation of social media interactions in a multidimensional space does exist. We highlight how social media behaviours, polarization and cross-fertilization differ as upon concrete topics. We argue therefore the ‘mega-identity partisanship’ which differentiate US online users in two different spaces cannot be extended for the rest of countries taking as first evidence the case of Spain. Further research should extend our conclusions for a possible generalization.

“…Two years of the pandemic have accelerated long-term trends such as fragmentation of the media [ 41 , 42 ], social networks [ 43 ], society [ 44 ], and hypernarrativity [ 45 ]. Similarly, the influence of emotions on public discourse has substantially increased [ 46 ], and this development coincides with the massive spread of misinformation.…”

In this article, we introduce a new communication strategy called the “communication success dimension” for the suppression and eradication of chemophobia. We explain, using recent examples, that chemophobia presents a danger not only to the science of chemistry but also to humankind. Based on the latest insights from communication research, we emphasize the need to bring more passion, dedication, and human factors into the communication of chemistry. We demonstrate the application of this new strategy by employing Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time to combat chemophobia. Graphical abstract
