How much misinformation are you exposed to? misinfoexpose.com As part of our new paper in @NatureComms, we have built a web app and an API to measure exposure to misinformation from political elites and partisanship on Twitter. Give it a try! (read the full threat 👇)
🚨Out in @NatureComms🚨 New measure of Twitter users' exposure to misinfo from *ELITES* using @politifact ratings of the elites a user follows ➤Predicts users' misinfo sharing ➤More extreme Reps = more exposure Check out your own exposure w/ web app! misinfoexpose.com 1/
NEW: According to Oxford and MIT researchers @_mohsen_m, @DG_Rand, and @cameron_martel_, social media users are more likely to follow and engage with like-minded accounts that demonstrate similar political views. oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/re…
1/7: 📢 New pre-print alert! @mrocklage, Mohsen Mosleh, @DG_Rand and I challenge the common belief that confidence is purely a driver of misinformation susceptibility. Our results show that confidence in specific judgments might actually improve truth discernment. A 🧵👇

Conservatives were more likely than liberals to be deplatformed on Twitter during the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, but they were also more likely to share misinformation URLs, finds @_mohsen_m Yang @zlisto @GordPennycook & @DG_Rand nature.com/articles/s4158…

📢Job news!📢 So excited to join @ker_twang - we use participatory design to build technologies that address systemic social problems with cross-sectoral teams (e.g., optimizing intervention design/delivery & also gov’t service provision). I left the academy, but I won’t be far🧵
So excited about this paper in JEP:G @APA_Journals co-authored w/ amazing @Cameron_Martel_ who is on the job market and does super cool research! We combined field experiments and online survey experiment to investigate underpinning mechanisms of reciprocation of ties on social…
🚨New in JEP:G @APA_Journals🚨 Why do ppl preferentially reciprocate follows by co-partisans online? In a Twitter field exp & survey we find: -Both content *and* social prefs drive co-party tie-making -Distinct roles for in-party pref & out-party dispref dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge000…
Very happy about this new paper, led by the amazing @Cameron_Martel_ (who is on the job market!)

This is an important point for arguments around fact-checking, banning, etc. You need to correct for the amount of falsehoods being offered.
🚨Out in Nature!🚨 Many (eg Trump JimJordan @elonmusk) have accused social media of anti-conservative bias Is this accurate? We test empirically - and it's more complicated than you might think: conservatives ARE suspended more, but also share more misinfo nature.com/articles/s4158…
Hahaha! "Google Scholars" @nypost with some remarkably poor journalism here
This letter from NYPost ed board is disappointingly disingenuous - they complain that fact-checkers have liberal bias, but the whole point of our paper is that we use *politically balanced layperson* ratings and still find that Reps shared more low quality news than Dems
Differences in misinformation sharing can lead to politically asymmetric sanctions sco.lt/8PMlkW
Thanks for sharing this piece about our work on suspension and low quality news sharing by conservatives - this thread walks through the paper in detail👇 x.com/DG_Rand/status…

Social media suspensions may be linked to misinformation, not platform bias: Study thehill.com/policy/technol… Pretty straightforward. More harmful #misinformation on the political right = more suspensions on the right. Yes, yes, yes... misinformation happens across political…
I commented on this story about a new paper by @DG_Rand & al. that proves, yet again and even more forcefully, that the claims of anti-conservative censorship in social media are false: Why conservatives get suspended more than liberals on social media washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Very interesting coverage of our recent article in #Nature by @washingtonpost
Conservatives aren't imagining it—they really do get sanctioned more on social media than liberals, a new @Nature analysis finds. But! That doesn't mean content moderation is biased. It turns out a better explanation is that they post way more misinfo. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

What happens when policies to curb the spread of misinformation (on social media) are implemented? An analysis by @DG_Rand @_mohsen_m @zlisto @GordPennycook in @Nature shows that they will impact people with different political beliefs differently nature.com/articles/s4158…
