ONLINE FIRST & OPEN ACCESS! How did perceptions of elite manipulation influence resistance to COVID-19 reporting and the spread of misinformation? This study by @marlis_st, @Isa_Freiling, and Jörg Matthes examines how audiences in 🇦🇹 resist news evidence. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Isabelle Freiling, one of the inaugural cohort of One-U Responsible AI faculty, is working to understand the black box of algorithm-driven information environments and the ripple effect of implications for researchers and the broader public. ow.ly/2gg450VfZTN @Isa_Freiling

Our inability to meaningfully study algorithmic info ecosystems, and why it matters for #scicomm. Pre-publication version of our forthcoming PNAS piece with Nicky Krause and Isabelle Freiling : osf.io/preprints/soca… (a 🧵)

It’s bad for various fields of social science who — during an ongoing replicability debate — should have learned by now to not trust suspiciously shiny findings from a single data source, especially one curated by an industry partner with obvious COIs. x.com/scheufele/stat…

If industry-controlled analyses like this showed no effects from #fossilfuels on #climatechange or no #cancer risks from smoking, most journals would not publish them. Social science needs to figure out how and why industry #COIs are different for #socialmedia and #polarization.

It’s bad for the journals who published this in spite of referees pointing out this very problem during peer review, and are not retracting, as of now. x.com/scheufele/stat…

"Outside researchers were not allowed to handle the raw data." Against reviewer concerns, @ScienceMagazine publishes work that allows @meta to define what they consider #misinformation and largely absolves platforms from responsibility for #polarization. science.org/content/articl…

63 algorithmic interventions designed to make #Facebook temporarily provide less polarizing and more reliable content likely distorted the data sets that @Meta fed to academic researchers and helped get publish with Meta employees as co-authors. #elettersSection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Most importantly, we need to evaluate metrics and interventions empirically with reliable social science. Otherwise, we’ll just “pied-piper” academia toward the next iteration of dysfunctional #openscience tools, as our paper led by @Isa_Freiling outlines: academic.oup.com/joc/article/71…
