Thrilled to share our new paper: “Beyond the Game: Comparing Political News Coverage and Twitter Discussions during the 2022 FIFA World Cup”, now published in the Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media! With the 2026 Men’s World Cup just weeks away, it’s the perfect time to revisit the highly politicised Qatar 2022 tournament. 1/10

X now shows the number of username changes Accounts change names identity/purpose overnight for malicious goals. We studied misleading repurposing before, found 100k repurposed accs Interestingly X only now account for this vulnerability yet it still doesn't show the old names

One of the many problems of Twitter is scientifically documented🙃Our paper "Misleading Repurposing on Twitter" was accepted to @ICWSM We uncover, analyze and provide a detection method for the repurposing of accounts, some later became trolls. We detected 106k of such accounts!

What is the impact of censorship (withholding accounts in certain countries) on X? In our new #CIKM25 paper, we find that censored (but not suspended) accounts lose 25% engagements on their subsequent tweets and experience a 90% drop in follower growth @cikm2025

Is social media still a political echo chamber? In our new ICWSM25 paper "Cross-Partisan Interactions on Twitter" we analyzed 3M replies from 2020 and find that 34% were directed to users from opposite political alignment. However these interactions are more likely to be toxic🧵

Two papers accepted to @aclmeeting about underserved languages by my PhD students @Amrkeleg (on Arabic dialects in NLP) and Zahra Bokaei (on Hate-speech detection in Persian). I hope they'd obtain their visas on time to present their diverse work in Vienna #ACL2025 #ACL2025NLP

I became one of the victims of @Facebook, where they deleted one of my posts that #SupportPalestine & restricted my account! It seems so many people are down rating it, since the rating of @facebookapp dropped to 2.5 in less than 15hrs! #FreedomofExpression #FreedomOfSpeech
