Our research team is currently searching for examples of media organizations that have tried to break free from platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
We have already found some cases, but now we need your help. Do you know an organization that has decided to abandon social media completely, pause their activities on platforms or maybe quit advertising on some social media channels?
If you have any cases in mind, please fill out this short questionnaire. Filling out the form will take less than five minutes.
In the Road to Freedom -research project, we explore deplatformisation as a concept on a continuum from counterbalancing the dependence on platforms to outright decoupling.
To give you an example of deplatformisation, here are two cases that are already on our list:
- Danish news startup Zetland quits advertising on Facebook and Instagram
- New Zealand publisher Stuff hits pause on all Facebook activity as it reassesses its relationship with the social media giant
Thank you for your help!
