Investing critical thinking in sources that should have been ignored in the first place means that attention merchants and malicious actors have been gifted what they wanted, our attention. ,

Misinformation research is developing rapidly, and the state of the evidence behind interventions changes constantly. In light of this, for the next three years upon publication in a scientific journal, our toolbox will be available as a living expert review. Stay tuned! 5/8

In the manuscript (psyarxiv.com/x8ejt), we also identify three main paradigms in research on misinformation interventions: the misinformation-correction paradigm, the headline-discernment paradigm, and the skill-adoption paradigm. Yes, there is more than one! 4/8

The toolbox delivers a conceptual overview of the breadth of interventions, incl. their target, scalability, & limitations. We categorize these interventions as nudges, which target behaviors; boosts, which target competences; or refutation strategies, which target beliefs. 2/8

This month we read a paper from @AnaSKozyreva and co-authors about "critical ignoring". This digital literacy skill is something we can cultivate to help students manage information overload and increase their resistance to mis/disinformation.

So the Latvian authorities did revoke TV Rain’s license today. Not only that, but they also requested YouTube to make TV Rain’s channel inaccessible in Latvia. What an absurd situation.

The twisted thing about this completely ridiculous poll is that we really need more democratic values on social media, but this vote takes it ad absurdum and contradicts the rules of representation. But it also highlights a core problem/misunderstanding: 1/2

Is social media good or bad for democracy? The answer might surprise you! Can’t recommend this paper enough (and it’s open access too).

Good timing for evidence on the importance of social media for democracy: now published in @NatureHumBehav is our systematic review that aims to summarize the evidence to inform a more constructive debate and rethink the status quo:
