The research found celebrity tweets spread regulatory news fast. People often trust information from famous accounts they follow. A celebrity opinion on a rule change can spark big online debates. These discussions show public support or anger about new regulations. Officials sometimes notice these reactions.
The study shows social media offers real-time feedback on rules. Regulators can see immediate public feelings. This happens through celebrity posts reaching huge audiences quickly. The research team analyzed thousands of tweets and replies. They saw clear patterns in how information spread.
Dr. Lisa Chen led the study. She stated, “Celebrity tweets act like megaphones for policy news. They shape how people first hear about new rules. We see public opinion forming right there in the comments.” Her team believes this data is valuable for officials. It shows instant crowd reactions before formal surveys happen.
