The keynote speech will be given by Martin Ruby, Public Policy Director at Meta (formerly employed by Google and Christiansborg), who will provide insight into how Meta navigates a constantly changing political landscape.

The keynote will be followed by a panel discussion with SHAPE-affiliated researchers in media studies who have published empirical research on Meta's platforms:

• Anton Elias Holt: AI and misinformation
• Stine Liv Johansen: Children and young people
• Jakob Linaa Jensen: Politics and political debate
• Anja Bechmann: Collective behavior (moderator)

The event will provide an opportunity to discuss the intersection of tech giants and research – and how the logic of social media can become a political issue.
