Conspiracy Influencing: Anti-democratic Multipliers on TikTok, Instagram and Co.

Whether travel videos, makeup tips or Let's Plays: social media influencers reach millions of users with self-produced content. Due to their special relationship with their audience, they can have a problematic influence on children and young people. This is even more the case when they spread anti-democratic statements and conspiracy myths. We provide insight into the milieu of conspiracy influencers*, their communication strategies and the conspiracy narratives as they are presented daily on the web.
