The article examines how social media influence public opinion and political attitudes, focusing on three interrelated processes: the spread of political information, the circulation of disinformation, and the digital communication strategies of political actors. Based on a review of empirical research and international reports from 2015–2026, the study tests popular assumptions about “echo chambers”, “filter bubbles” and the decisive role of fake news. The author shows that social media have indeed become a leading source of news for a large part of the population, and that false information spreads faster than true information. However, large-scale experiments, including those conducted during the 2020 U.S. elections, show that changing feed algorithms has only a limited short-term effect on political attitudes, and that exposure to disinformation is concentrated among a relatively small and already politically engaged group of users. The main effect of social media is therefore not the mass “brainwashing” of citizens, but the amplification of existing beliefs, the erosion of trust in institutions and the redistribution of agenda-setting power from traditional media to platforms, influencers and political actors. The article concludes that countering disinformation requires a combination of platform regulation, media literacy and “prebunking”, with particular attention to messaging apps such as Telegram, which play a major role in Central Asia, including Uzbekistan.
