The digital age has fundamentally transformed social interactions, as well as the concepts of truth, identity, and political communication. The emergence of hyperreality, which creates blurred boundaries between reality and digital representations, has sparked a profound cultural revolution. This article aims to provide a framework for understanding the functioning of platform society, where interactions are governed by algorithms and digital data, presenting new challenges for democracy and cultural integrity. The study examines the social and political consequences of these phenomena within digital culture. It explores the impact of online platforms on social structures and the rise of post-truth political communication, where emotions and personal opinions override facts. However, this is not a perverse effect, but rather an unfortunate consequence of the cultural revolution
