Out today in @ScienceAdvances : our new paper from the 2020 Facebook-Instagram Election Study. We report two main findings:
- Exposure to untrustworthy sources in 2020 was highly concentrated
- No detectable effects of reducing exposure

New study out in Nature Human Behaviour: 37 million US users were exposed to deceptive networks on Facebook & 3 million on Instagram during the 2020 elections—roughly 15% and 2% of active users. 🧵
Partnering ~~with~~ audiences to figure out how to be **listen-worthy** is critical. Thanks @NiemanLab for the opportunity to share some thoughts!
