Welche Koalitionen könnten nach den Wahlen in Sachsen und Thüringen anstehen?
Zusammengefasst: in Sachsen könnte es sehr schwer werden, eine Regierung ohne BSW zu bilden - und in Thüringen beinahe unmöglich.

Our polling average topline takeaway: Trump is leading in 5 of the 7 battleground states that are most likely to determine the outcome of the election, but PA, WI and MI are within a typically-sized polling error.

For researchers who want to make use of data access under the DSA (APIs are closed...) and be prepared (time is ticking, as of a few days it is enforceable), @JJaursch and I have put together a FAQ for researchers on the topic and I hope it is useful:

Eine große internationale Studie untersuchte die politischen Effekte sozialer Medien. Ihr Ergebnis, stark verkürzt: Algorithmen sind weniger böse, als wir glauben. Co-Autor @drewdim von der Uni Wien erklärt im Gespräch mit @hofse die Details.

@DrewDim von @ds_vienna et al analysierten die Rolle sozialer Medien in der US-Demokratie. Chronologische Feeds verringerten Plattformzeit, erhöhten aber gemäßigte Inhalte. #SocialNetwork
Forschungsartikel erschienen in @ScienceMagazine, sowie @Nature.
