SoMe4Dem

A recent project workshop explored the concept of narratives and their impact on democratic processes. See some4dem.eu/news/political… for more details.

Finally! This is exciting news for research data access!

Today scientists from SoMe4Dem and the @TWON_project will discuss how modeling could help to reshape the digital public sphere at the satellite workshop MODIS 2024 at #ccs24 some4dem.eu/news/modis-202…

Will be presenting one of my core @some4dem projects!

Scientists from the SoMe4Dem project participated at the DMI Summer School 2024 in Amsterdam facilitating a project on the expression of collective identities on X. #digitalmethods some4dem.eu/news/dmi-summe…

Does the German political online ecosystem hold potential for deliberation? Now out in HSSC - certainly the most theory heavy paper from my PhD - a measurement perspective on deliberative systems using web tracking and survey data. Give it a read if you like online deliberation!

How well do fact checks perform compared to the problematic content they address? New study on the competition between fact checks and problematic content in Google results by @KamilaKoronska and me. Includes SEO effects and moderation critique dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114… @veraai_eu

Soziale Medien machen es einfach, die Grenzen zwischen Fakten und Ansichten zu verwischen und die öffentliche Meinung zu beeinflussen. Im Projekt @some4dem untersuchen Forschende wie Prof. Stephan Lewandowsky, wie sie die Demokratie beeinflussen: uni-potsdam.de/de/nachrichten… @STWorg

#JEA23 | @PedroRamaciotti Morales (@medialab_ScPo, @CNRS) & @bea_botero (@BKCHarvard) present their research : "What data is needed to evaluate and monitor systemic risks in social platforms linked to political polarization and political disinformation". Excerpt.
