Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was quoted by USA Today for the story “Twitter’s get-out-the-vote campaign push will be in your face Tuesday.” The get-out-the-vote campaign comes as a push from Twitter, along with other social media platforms, to encourage more Americans to vote in the 2020 election. However, Grygiel, who studies social media, warns of these voter drives. “Corporations are political entities and we should not assume that platform voter registration campaigns are being done with only public good in mind and aren’t also strategic,” says Grygiel.
