Political Effects of Social Media: Evidence from the US 2020 Facebook and Instagram Election Study

Описание: New evidence about the role of social media in American democracy has been gained as a result of collaboration between academics from U.S. colleges and universities, along with researchers from Meta. In July 2023, the first set of four papers from this collaboration were peer-reviewed and published in Science and Nature, focusing primarily on how critical aspects of the algorithms that determine what people see in their feeds affect what people see and believe. In this panel, speakers will discuss the overall project, as well as the results from the first set of published studies.
