12 years ago this day, I defended my Master's thesis at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. Little did I know then that my relationship with academic research would take me to where I am today.

Publication Alert 📣 Our experimental study shows that politicians’ intolerant (but not uncivil) Tweets cause negative emotions in young participants. 🏛 This, in turn, increased pol distrust & pol participation intentions. @adme-uvienna.bsky.social #OpenAccess 📌 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to free speech and civic engagement runs precisely as deep as Exxon's commitment to clean energy. He doesn't have a single intellectual commitment that could remain standing against a mild political headwind. open.substack.com/pub/davekarp...

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

It’s important to consider the consequences of online abuse on political representation in light of the changes in meta’s moderation approach allowing more abuse and harassment to stay online.

DEADLINE ALERT!!!! Get your proposals ready and in by the deadline that is less than one week away. #apsa2025 #Vancouver #Canada "we will meet again in the land of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh" convention2.allacademic.com/one/apsa/aps...

It’s important to identify *which* speech is being “suppressed”

Meta's decision to ditch fact-checkers in the US reeks of dangerous opportunism, prioritizing 'community-driven' spin over accountability. With Indian fact-checkers heavily reliant on Meta funding, this could spell disaster for truth & transparency globally. indianexpress.com/article/busi...

As per the report below (in Portuguese), Meta’s decision to end factchecking is only happening in the US—at least for now—if you needed any reminders that this is nothing more than a business decision to fit with the political agenda of the day.

A day might come when I present research that is not depressing, but that day is not today. Thanks @psampg.bsky.social for the invitation to open this year's conference!

Dr. Patricia Rossini @patyrossini.bsky.social will be giving our first Keynote this morning :-) She'll be sharing insights on misinformation in the 2022 election in Brazil, and how this fuelled intolerance and hate #PSAMPG2025

The UK is generally a nice place to live. But something strange happens on trains--particularly in (or going to) England: no matter what time you take them, there will be a group of loud people drinking, chatting, singing (!) like it is a freaking party. Even at 11am. Train disinhibition effect?

Sup BlueSky 👋 I wrote out my reflections on this space for @techpolicypress.bsky.social in the piece I go beyond "Bluesky is not really decentralised" and "it's an EcH0cHamB3r" rhetoric. I have 3 main observations:

Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product

Lots of the students in my dataviz class speak other languages, so I wrote up a little guide about how to change the locale in #rstats to get localized month/day names with {lubridate} and other R functions datavizf24.classes.andrewheiss.com/news/2024-11...

New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years. Trust in news declined in just over half of countries. It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown. A thread:

My new book from @mitpress.bsky.social, Gaming Democracy: How Silicon Valley Leveled Up the Far Right, is out today! The book explores how play and gaming culture have mainstreamed far right ideology through social media platforms. #digitalculture #games #politics #platforms

Em um artigo liderado por @patyrossini.bsky.social, encontramos uma associação negativa entre confiança no processo eleitoral e crença em desinformação eleitoral - ou seja, quem não confia nos resultados é mais propenso a acreditar desinfo.

The Brazilian police and the justice system took the Jan.8 attacks very seriously, focusing not only on prosecuting the vandals who invaded government buildings but primarily on the funding and planning system behind the insurrection. The results are here:

There's been an influx of new followers & new people on this platform. Perhaps not a coincidence as staying in the other one is becoming less and less justifiable...

EU's #CBAM causing trouble in the opening hours of #COP29 already. Good reason to plug my #openaccess paper with Lena Schaffer about public attitudes re CBAM. TLDR: public opinion about CBAM is pretty malleable in four European countries (🇩🇪, 🇨🇭, 🇭🇺, and 🇬🇧) iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

What a (sad) day for UKHE. Between the fresh attacks on legal immigration that will make it even harder to attract early-career talent and the stories about how much undergrad students are struggling financially due to the cost of living crisis, it’s a depressing day in this small island.

Fantastic contribution by @jbgruber.bsky.social ! TikTok is one of the most relevant platforms for communication scholars to understand right now. 👇👇

Gothenburg is a warm and welcoming department in a very city! Recommend!
