Abstract. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the profit-oriented and manipulative digital platforms of BigTech corporations are strengthening autocratic structures and undermining peace, climate protection, democracy and social cohesion worldwide. The peace movement and peace science are called upon to restructure their use of social media in terms of a digitization serving the common good.
