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 🧵)

"The scientific community must also better recognize that it may not be helpful to emphasize consensus in policy reports’ recommendations when the underlying values are not universally shared." Could not agree more with @theNASciences's @Marcia4Science. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

As @meta studies in @ScienceMagazine and @Nature come under increasing scrutiny, it's worth asking two questions posed by Holden Thorpe in 2022: “whether the data in a paper is reliable or not ... [and] who has been responsible for generating that data." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

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…
dietram a. scheufele@scheufele

"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…

"[A] baby step forward in the direction of data transparency." Amid pushback against industry-controlled settings for studying algorithmically-curated information environments , @meta is trying to do damage control. Great piece by @TheAtlantic's @mimbsy. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

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…
