For the area of "digitalization", @EmmaHoes93 brilliantly presented her research on the responsiveness of social media platforms to media reporting on them, as well as on the effects on user behavior of monetization of social media content. @IPZ_ch

🚨 Do you use digital trace data / web tracking data? Do you want to measure what people do online? We published a Total Error Framework for web tracking data: bit.ly/3hj0qTB We show: how to use it, errors to expect & best practices informed by a real case study! 🧵

Published today in @NatureHumBehav 👇 our systematic review on the link between digital media and democracy that I co-led with @lorenz_spreen, @STWorg and @arc_mpib nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
This systematic review finds beneficial relationships mostly in authoritarian contexts but detrimental associations in established democracies for different political variables across methods. @lorenz_spreen @LisaFOswaldo @STWorg @arc_mpib buff.ly/3DID01m

Twitter's new owner seems to be having a lot of fun for now, but he should be bracing for a whole bunch of regulatory slaps in the face. Wrote about it: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Between @Meta /CrowdTangle doing... whatever it's doing, and @Twitter under new ownership, academics stand to lose a lot of access to the data we relied on to study/understand social media. 1/

It was fun presenting our project on #voting mechanisms in digital platforms in the @DigDemLab Digital Democracy workshop today! An engaging crowd that provides positive & constructive feedback. I think the presence of my cat in the DALL.E AI art illustrations certainly helps 🐈

Can #AI improve #democratic #citizenship? I’m excited to be at @UZH_en's @DigDemLab this week to present new ideas on how AI might be harnessed to address challenges of political #participation. Looking forward to learning from fellow Digital Democracy Workshop participants.

New pub out at @Journal_Of_Comm 🚨 With conjoint experiments in three countries, we show that even if users on social media are not sorted, perceptions of polarization are heightened because of higher rates of partisan sharing. Co-authored w/ @natyaruguete & @ecalvo68! 🧵/1
