This research has significant implications for social commerce, as it highlights the importance of considering the role of social media platforms in shaping public discourse and influencing consumer behavior. As social media continues to play a larger role in shaping public opinion, understanding how election information is shared and consumed on these platforms is crucial for businesses and organizations seeking to navigate the complex landscape of online commerce.
