      Folks, I’m launching a research project on hate-speech and intercommunal violence—especially in the context of encrypted apps. This is what I’ve been losing sleep over for over a year. Look for a post-doc announcement soon. No easy solutions but there are real steps to take.https://twitter.com/daveleebbc/status/1006216271912792064 …

          1. This lack of faith in, and presence of, `traditional institutions’ in most developing societies leads to completely different social tech dynamics compared to, say, the OECD world.

          2. Not only do people react more impulsively to the information they might receive on social media, but they are also more likely to give up personal data in exchange for the hope of improved services.

          This paper on Information Delivery During India's Demonetization may be useful. https://twitter.com/ben_golub/status/1006282880715247616 … Joshua Benton offers this caveathttps://twitter.com/jbenton/status/1006339257395539968 …

          In other words, underinformed people *will* take cues from elites if they know they have access to quality information. This worked okay for decades when those elites — media, parties, political leaders — had responsible commitments to reality. We need better elites. https://twitter.com/ben_golub/status/1006282880715247616 …
