In her new book about online extremism, Professor @TamarMitts identifies how differing moderation standards across platforms create safe havens that allow violent actors to organize, launch campaigns, and mobilize supporters.

How should we measure opinion in rapidly changing information environments? In a working paper, I develop an approach - the crowdsourced adaptive survey (CSAS) - that unites LLMs and adaptive algorithms to create surveys that evolve with user input.

1/ THREAD: Israel is currently undergoing a period of revolutionary change, and the pace of events can be difficult to keep up with, even for those residing and working here. Let me attempt to clarify some of the developments we are witnessing.

Excited to share a new @PNASNews paper about hate crime support! Most perpetrators are young and male, but we show that support for violent anti-refugee hate crime cuts across society & that it can lead to the radicalization of politics. Check it out: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Today’s Twitter announcement is a perfect illustration of how external research – crucial for making informed public policy – can become collateral damage when platforms make policy changes that have nothing to do with research.
