The paper presents an analysis of the influence that the social media have on the modern politics phenomenon. Author shows the growing role of the social media and digitalisation throughout the recent years. She also presents the modern examples of the crucial part of the social media in conducting contemporary politics. The analysis also explains the term of “twiplomacy”, highlighting the moments of today’s diplomatic reality when this term would be adequate. Author also touches the topic of the inclusiveness of the modern politics, created by the social media influence and the possible threats of using this tool for the international security and different disadvantages connected with it. She also shows the influence of the COVID-19 pandemics on this topic. The paper is concluded by the brief considerations about the future of the social media application in politics and diplomacy.
