29
00:01:59,519 –> 00:02:03,040
you are building it. Digital media is now a central

30
00:02:03,159 –> 00:02:08,240

significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent

45
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:11,199
elections in countries like the U S and Germany underscore

46
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:16,120
how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment

47
00:03:16,560 –> 00:03:21,120
for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a

48
00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:25,039
fair battleground. As a public square, it is often chaotic

49
00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:30,560
and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules divisive content. In line

50
00:03:30,599 –> 00:03:33,759
