How have social media affected democratic processes across the world?

So last year I had to write a paper for a course on Big Data, and I decided to focus on how the advent of Big Data has affected power relations in societies across the world. Thankfully, there's quite a lot of content out there exploring this idea, particularly with regards to how social media user metrics can be used by public and private institutions for various means.

Anyways, I've been thinking about it recently, and I was wondering if there was anything I might have missed, or not considered.

So, in your guys' opinion, how do you think that data collection, social media, and the mass adoption of the internet, in general, has affected democracy?
