Our team just launched three new tools to help you explore social media data: 🌉NewsBridge – Adds AI-powered context to Facebook posts 🔎Barney’s Tavern – Search 34B social media posts 🌎OSoMeNet – Visualize how info spreads across platforms osome.iu.edu/research/blog/…
New preprint! 🚀 We looked into the rise of Bluesky and found that this platform is definitely sticking around 🚀 Huge kudos to my amazing co-authors for digging through nearly two years of all Bluesky data!

New paper in PNAS: Fact-checking information from large language models can decrease headline discernment What are the unintended consequences of AI fact-checking? Even LLMs that accurately identify false headlines can actually cause harm. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
🚨Our new paper is on arXiv! We’re excited to share 26 state-backed information operation (IO) datasets, each paired with a robust control set of 13M+ posts in total from non-IO accounts. You can reach the dataset here: zenodo.org/records/141891… ...
Out now in PNAS and led by the amazing @Abdulshir with a great team from @arc_mpib @mpib_berlin, our systematic meta-analysis of individual factors for misinformation susceptibility: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Our new working paper shows how a single choice by many social media platforms—to treat all resharing as if from the original poster—can drastically reshape our understanding of the social dynamics on those platforms. doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…
Our letter & accompanying news article + editorial in @ScienceMagazine question the unwarranted conclusion generally drawn by the media and science community (as well as Meta) about a positive role of the Facebook ranking algorithm on misinformation 🧪 Details in the 🧵 below...

AI search engines use LLMs to summarize results for you, but can LLMs discern low-credibility sources from credible ones? Our paper measures the accuracy of LLMs' credibility ratings on news sources and political biases. With @OSoMe_IU 🔗arxiv.org/abs/2304.00228 1/9

I will be adding a session for Background/Keyword/Problem in my future posters — found it super helpful to get a quick grasp of a work & spark conversations. Some examples from #ic2s2 Last one is an amazing work by @arianna_pera1 and @lajello
This looks like a rap album cover 😂
📢 If you are at @IC2S2, join us for our tutorial “Exploring Emerging Social Media: Acquiring, Processing, and Visualizing Data with Python and OSoMe Web Tools.” 📅 Time: 9 AM – 12:30 PM 📍Location: Irvine: Amado Recital Hall ℹ️Details: osome.iu.edu/events/ic2s2-2… 1/2
A lot has happened over the past couple of months... 🚀 ICYMI, our paper "Identifying and characterizing superspreaders of low credibility content on Twitter" was published in @PLOSONE (open access link below)! 1/8
Misinformation posted to Twitter comes from 'superspreader' accounts, say researchers, amid warnings for future of content moderation on X Reporting on latest paper w/@mdeverna2 @RachithAiyappa @diogofpacheco @jb_tweets 🧪 doi.org/10.1371/journa… abc.net.au/news/2024-05-2…
Excited to share our latest work, "Symmetry breaking in optimal transport networks," just out in @NatureComms! 🚀 This was a fantastic collaboration with @filrad, @santo, @siragerkol, and Marc. Here's a short thread summarizing our main findings! 1/8
